We’re making GREAT progress with our Fields for Our Future: Infield Impact campaign! ⚾️🥎 Thanks to the incredible support of our local businesses, so many sponsorship opportunities have already been secured — and we’re getting closer to the finish line!

We still have a few opportunities available:

Bernard Holland Baseball Field 5
On-Deck Circle Sponsorships
Batting Cage Sponsorships
Family Donations

Every sponsorship brings us one step closer to providing reliable fields, fewer rainouts, and more opportunities for Benton’s athletes to play.
