2018 PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
For more than 55 years, the Sheboygan Athletic Club has been the driving force behind baseball for our community. Sheboygan baseball at all age levels is rooted in the Sheboygan Athletic Club. From the Sheboygan Diamond Dawgs youth organization, to high school and Legion baseball, and the marquee semi-pro team the A’s, the Sheboygan Athletic Club has had its hand in each organizations’ growth and development. Each year the entire community comes together to support this Sheboygan institution. Fans by the thousands file through the gates of Wildwood Baseball Park to partake in the fun of an A’s game, and each year the business community steps up to support the team financially. Sheboygan A’s baseball has survived because the business community has recognized its value. Just a few years ago, the club partnered with the community to complete a quarter of a million dollar renovation of Wild-

wood Park. These renovations have enhanced the fan experience, and has created more opportunities for businesses to communicate their message to the baseball fans of Sheboygan. Now we embrace another $1-$2 million renovation of Wildwood Park. This sales brochure describes the many Sheboygan A’s sponsorship opportunities. It is designed to help you customize your advertising plan. Not only does this brochure open the door for you to communicate your message, but it also affords you a chance to promote your business in many unique ways. As always, your support is appreciated.
Sincerely, Scott Stangel President Sheboygan Athletic Club
