Great Lakes Loons News Release


With a major focus on kids and families, Farm Bureau Insurance of Michigan will be a multi-year sponsor of the Great Lakes Loons. Farm Bureau's sponsorship includes the honorary bat kid promotion, youth baseball clinics and a chance to run the bases after every Sunday home game. In addition, every time the Loons turn a double play, Farm Bureau Insurance will make a contribution to the American Cancer Society through its "Double Plays for Life" program.

"Farm Bureau Insurance is Michigan's insurance company and their support of Loons baseball, through this sponsorship, is further confirmation of their commitment to the region and to children and families," said Paul Barbeau, Loons' President and General Manager.

Beginning the week of March 25, 2007, young Loons fans can sign up at participating Farm Bureau Insurance agencies in mid-Michigan to have a chance to be honorary bat kid for one of the team's 70 home games. Each game's honorary bat kid will meet the players and work with an official Loons bat boy to help clear bats from field.

As the presenting sponsor of the baseball clinics, Farm Bureau Insurance will host three youth clinics before games on May 6, May 27 and June 10. Any child holding a ticket for those games is welcome to attend the baseball clinic. Participants will receive a special Loons/Farm Bureau Insurance baseball.

The Great Lakes Loons are a single-A Minor League Baseball team in the Midwest League and are owned and operated by the non-profit Michigan Baseball Foundation.
