Bat-A-Que!

This is our big ABGSL party and fundraiser and will take place on Saturday, April 30th, at Fielding Field

Highlights of the day:

*** Team Photos
*** Barbecue lunch for all and free for all girls who participate in the Bat-A-Thon
*** Dunk Tank! We have two again this year for plenty of opportunities to dunk your coaches

And the Bat-A-Thon!!!
where the girls can show off their hard work at practices and hit amazing distances to bring home bragging rights to their friends and families. More details below about earning prizes for the amounts of sponsorships the girls are able to bring in.

Sponsor forms will be delivered to the team managers this week. Please make sure your daughter gets her form, and begins to solicit sponsors right away. To speed the registration process and make things run smoothly, we are using duplicate forms. (Please make sure both copies are legible by helping your daughter record her pledges on a hard surface.) Be sure your daughter brings her completed forms and envelope to the Bat-a-Que on April 30th, along with any money she has collected in advance.

All girls who participate in the Bat-A-Thon will receive a free hot dog lunch, an ABGSL water bottle with our new 2011 Bat-A-Que logo, a free raffle ticket, and a free dunk tank ticket for a chance to dunk her coach!

More details will follow in the upcoming weeks, including the event day schedule and raffle prizes.

I am looking forward to seeing you all there on Saturday, April 30th!

Girls who raise significant amounts through sponsorship will earn special prizes:
• $100 collected - earns a t-shirt
• $200 collected - earns a t-shirt OR a sweatshirt
• $250 or above collected earns a t-shirt OR a sweatshirt OR a be entered into a drawing to win one of 10 spots for a softball lesson from Coach Bo.

Teams will earn $40 towards an ice-cream party if the team as a whole earns at least $1,000.

Teams that collect over $1800 will be placed into a drawing to earn a trip (one trip awarded in this drawing) to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom for all the players on the team plus 3 supervising adults.

Teams that earn $2500 or more from sponsors will receive tickets to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (for all girls and 3 adults).

Because we have special Bat-a-Que t-shirts and sweatshirts, prizes will be distributed before the end of the season by team managers. ABGSL promotional wear will be available for purchase the day of the event.


Photo Day

Saturday, April 30th will also be League Photo day. Be sure your daughter wears her team t-shirt. Both team and individual shots are scheduled. Information and order forms will be delivered the week before. Please see the photo packet for information about taking a buddy shot with a friend or parent.

Photos will be available for distribution by managers before the end of the season, along with trophies. (So – team Gift Coordinators – keep in mind a photo for that end of season coach's gift!)

4/27 note:  You should receive your Photo Order forms from your coach by tonight.  Everyone needs to fill out the top part of the order form
even if they are not ordering anything beyond what is provided as part of the ABGSL registration fee (an individual and team photo). The photographer will have extra order forms for those that forget them, but having them filled out ahead of time will help speed the process.

Photo extras will be available for purchase (click on flyer for details)




Raffle

We are collecting some great raffle prizes. We have A's tickets, Giant's tickets, ABGSL fan wear, Cal Softball items, and more coming in. If you would like to donate a raffle prize, please let me know.


Sponsors

Many of the Sponsors of our teams and of ABGSL attend our Bat-A-Que because it is so much fun. Please join us in recognizing these contributors and show them how much we all appreciate our ABGSL by attending this event yourself with your family and friends.


Volunteers

If you signed up to volunteer for the Bat-a-Que you will be contacted by our Volunteer coordinator who will let you know your job assignment for the day. Shifts are 4 hours each (8:30 - 12:30 a.m. and 12:00 - 4:00 p.m.) Some volunteers will assist later with prize distribution; prizes are distributed to team managers over Memorial Day weekend.
