REF: 2020 Spring Challenger Season Sponsorship
Hello, my name is Michelle Slaughter and I represent the Dale City Little League Board of Directors. I am the Challenger Division Vice President. On behalf of the entire Board; I’d like to present you with the opportunity to make the dreams of the children who play Challenger Little League Baseball here in Dale City and Eastern Prince William County come true.
Dale City Little League is a non-profit youth organization, staffed and administered by volunteers. Our objective is to instill in our children the ideals of character, integrity, and teamwork, while teaching the game of baseball. With planning for the Spring 2020 baseball season just around the corner, we rely on local businesses like yours to fund a substantial portion of our budget, there are considerable expenses incurred by the league from county fees, utilities, insurance, field maintenance, uniforms & equipment, and umpires. DCLL welcomes supporters like you to help sponsor a team and support your business in the process.
Our league also includes the Challenger Program for the Middle and Eastern Prince William County players. The Challenger Division is Little League’s Adaptive Baseball Program for individuals with physical and/or intellectual challenges, ages 5 to 30, an opportunity to play baseball regardless of their limitations. In 1989, the United States Congress inaugurated the Challenger program as an educational program. Your donation is not only tax deductible but also helps to supports a community educational program, which makes this a win-win situation for our players and you. I am including some pictures of our players from last spring and a flyer about the Challenger Program, I hope you find this helpful in making your decision to support the program. This past spring we had 66 players.
The following sponsorship summary outlines the various levels of league sponsorship and lists the ways in which we are committed to ensuring your donation is well publicized and wisely spent.

The Challenger Division is Little League’s Adaptive Baseball Program for
individuals with physical and/or intellectual challenges, ages 5 to 30, an
opportunity to play baseball regardless of their limitations. This affords
these individuals the opportunity to experience the emotional development
and fun of playing Little League Baseball. This Division of Little League is a
supervised, volunteer based, non-competitive structured athletic program. It
is sanctioned and insured by Little League Headquarters in Williamsport, PA.
Inaugurated in 1989, Challenger Baseball is chartered by the United States
Congress as an educational program.
All players will receive a full uniform, the necessary equipment to safely
play the game, team pictures and a closing ceremony.
One of the most positive aspects of the Challenger Division is a volunteer
program that uses “buddies” during play. A buddy can be a Little League
Baseball player, friend, brother or sister, relative or even a parent. Buddies
help assist their Challenger partner on the field with any aspect of the
game. We are always looking for volunteers from within the community that
are willing to come to the games and partner up with the challenger players
as a Buddy.
Funding for the Challenger Division comes from registration fees, contributions, sponsorships and fund raising.
The financing needed supplements the cost of uniforms, equipment, training, storage, advertising, special
events, tournaments and mailings.
The Challenger Division is Little Leagues way of providing new opportunities for individuals with disabilities to
enjoy the game of baseball.

Many individuals with special needs have very few opportunities to play side by side with their non-challenged
peers. Challenger Baseball allows them the opportunity to socialize, and learn proper cooperative behaviors such
as taking turns, sorting out problems, game strategies, independence, sportsmanship and working together as a
team.
One of the most positive aspects of the Challenger Division is a volunteer program that uses “buddies” during
play. Buddies help assist their Challenger partner on the field with any aspect of the game. They may help push
wheelchair-bound children around the field, they might help hold the bat so a player can hit the ball, they may
assist in catching the ball, they may assist in throwing the ball or they may just be there to lend support and
encouragement. This interaction has proven to be a positive mutually rewarding experience for all the
individuals involved as the Challenger players enjoy the thrill of participation and their “buddies” experience
first-hand the challenges these individuals face in their daily lives. The volunteer program also serves as a
respite for those parents of special needs children and allows them to watch their children enjoy the game of
baseball.
We are looking for volunteers from within the community that are willing to come to the games and partner up
with our challenger players as a “Buddy”. If you are interested in helping with this program, please contact
Michelle Slaughter at 703-615-8487 or via email at [email protected]. We are willing to
take whatever you are willing to give, you do not have to commit to every game in order to be a “Buddy”.
