SPONSORS 2019

CURRENT PLATINUM SPONSOR

The Illiana Thunderbolts relies heavily on the generosity of local business that sponsor our players and teams. The costs associated with operating a true independent travel baseball program is substantial.

Each year we do our VERY BEST to keep the fees for the players as low as possible. Unfortunately each year it seems our expenses go up. Tournament fees, equipment, insurance, umpire fees, field rental, advertising, administrative costs are a few such expenses.

Yes, every day someone contacts you in person, via text, email, etc. asking for a donation. How do you decide who to support as we all realize a local business cannot support everyone that has a need?

The ILLIANA THUNDERBOLTS are one of those organizations that you can be sure your donation will go to the right place for the right reason.

We ask that you take a hard look at our program and hopefully you will decide to support that ILLIANA THUNDERBOLTS with a DONATION.
