RAFFLE TICKETS
MLL has only one fundraiser every year. All players along with the help of their parents/guardians are required to sell Raffle Tickets as part of their fundraising obligation. This one and only fundraiser allows MLL to keep registration fees affordable and supply financial aid to those in need. It also allows us to continue upgrading our facility and maintain equipment for all teams and divisions. Tickets and details will be given out soon, we are finalizing all the info now.  A big thank you to Tracy Gibson who has graciously volunteered to run the Raffle this season!

SNACK SHACK SIGN UP
Now that schedules and rosters have been released, it is time to start scheduling Snack Shack Shifts. As returning parents know, any games played at the Centeio-Baldwin Field on Oak street need a couple parents to volunteer to sell snacks, drinks & hot dogs, etc. Check your child’s schedule for when they are playing as the HOME team on CB field and plan to volunteer a couple times for your team during those games.

 

See you on the field Sharks! 🦈⚾️
