LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
KEY STATISTICS
Welcome to Sheboygan A’s Baseball!
• Have been in existence since 1963
For over 50 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 Sheboygan 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 organizations’
growth and development.
• Maintain and operate Wildwood Baseball Park (home to the Sheboygan A’s, Sheboygan
North, Sheboygan South and Sheboygan Legion Post 83 baseball programs)
Each year the entire community comes together to support this Sheboygan
institution. Fans by the thousands file through the gates of Wildwood Baseball
Park to partake in the fun of an A’s game, and each year the business community
steps up to support the team financially. It’s a partnership with the common
goal, to sustain this tradition for our community.
• Over 68 scholarships presented since 1985
• More than $1,360,000 invested into Wildwood Baseball Park since 1979
• Over 39 professional alumni and counting
• Community Involvement - The A’s work year round with other community groups to
contribute to their fund-raising efforts, and provide A’s
tickets at low or no costs
Without the Sheboygan community there would no A’s baseball. It has survived because the business community has recognized its
value. Most recently the club partnered with the community to complete a quarter of a million dollar renovation of Wildwood Baseball Park. These renovations have enhanced the fan experience, and has created more opportunities for businesses to communicate
their message to the baseball fans of Sheboygan.
• Assisted in starting the Sheboygan North and Sheboygan
South High School baseball programs
• Have sponsored the Sheboygan Diamonds youth baseball
organization since inception
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. One new and very exciting advertising opportunity is to utilize the new video message
board on top of the new scoreboard.
• Offer youth team nights at games, where kids can be
introduced with A’s players during the starting lineups
• 100% volunteer organization
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. We hope you
select one of our advertising options listed in this brochure, or you can contact us with your ideas on how you can become one of the
hundreds who support “baseball for our community” in a unique way.
• Host baseball games at Wildwood Baseball Park from
March through September

Scott Stangel
