A LETTER FROM THE CLUB
For over 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 Diamonds youth baseball 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 organization’s growth and development. Each year, the Sheboygan County community comes together to support the institution known as Sheboygan A’s baseball. Fans file through the gates of Wildwood Park by the thousands to partake in the fun of an A’s game, and each year the business community steps up to support the team financially. Sheboygan baseball has survived because the business community has recognized its value. 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. Several new and very exciting advertising opportunities include video messaging on top of the scoreboard, advertising during the streaming of A’s home games, concourse advertising or the use of the new deck to host your company function or party during an A’s game. As always your support is appreciated. Everyone associated with the Sheboygan Athletic Club is at your disposal to help you develop your sponsorship package. We work with businesses and sponsors of any size. We are flexible to meet your needs. Your ideas on how you can become one of the hundreds who support “baseball for our community” are always appreciated.
