Warwick Little League (WLL) is run entirely by volunteers and is a 501c3 educational organization providing a supervised program of competitive baseball games. The objective of WLL shall be to implant firmly, in the children of the community, the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage, and respect for authority, with the hope that they will grow to be good, decent, healthy, and trustworthy citizens.
The WLL program is funded by registration fees, sponsorships, concessions, merchandise, and family fundraising (like basket bingo, or roast beef dinner, or sub sales, raffles, etc.). And the cost of one player to participate in Little League is $200.
WLL has one mandatory fundraiser and that is the selling of raffle tickets by each player.
The fundraising fee of $50 is part of the registration fee. The League provides $150($50 to tball) in raffle tickets to reimburse full registration costs. When you get your $150 in raffle tickets at Meet the Manager in March, the tickets are yours to KEEP. You owe nothing else to the League! Whatever tickets you sell, that money is yours. If you sell all 15, you have your $150 back.
By asking families to help out in the concession stand, or buying WLL merchandise, or a roast beef dinner ticket, or participating in any additional fundraiser, we build a better youth program and every little bit helps. And it all ends up benefiting the Warwick Little League program with little to no effort at all.
