Beloit Sky Carp News Release
West Bend Mutual teamed up with the Snappers last season to help out the Stateline United Way. The partnership was such a huge hit that the three parties decided to go with it again for the 2008 season.
Here is a listing of the following prizes that will be given out next season courtesy of West Bend Mutual and the Snappers:
- Each time a Snappers player hits a home run off the West Bend Mutual billboard, some randomly selected fan will win $100
- Each time the Snappers turn a double play at home, $50 will be donated to the Stateline United Way
- If a Snappers starting pitcher has 18 or more strike outs in one game, $1,000 will be given to a random fan
"Last season, teaming up with West Bend Mutual was a huge success for us," said General Manager Jeff Vohs. "The interest and involvement that they showed in our partnership went a long way in maintaining our strong relationship. We are anxious to get next year going and hope that West Bend Mutual will remain a part of the Snappers family for years to come."
Last year the total amount of money raised for the Stateline United Way was $2,550. Fans were able to check the progress of the donations on www.snappersbaseball.com and on the United Way board near the Pohlman Field main entrance.
