Wausau, WI - The Wisconsin Woodchucks are excited to announce that the organization will be accepting applications for a softball equipment package, courtesy of the Northwoods League Foundation. The Northwoods League's newest program, entitled, "Share the Glove", has recently been announced and is currently available to fans in all Northwoods League markets.

Each softball equipment package, with an approximate retail value of $2500, will include two sets of catcher's gear, ten gloves, eight batting helmets, six bats and one bucket of practice balls. The Woodchucks will award a softball equipment package to an organization in the central Wisconsin area. The Organizations must meet applicable criteria related to IRS 501(c)(3) guidelines and the Northwoods League Foundation's Mission.

The Northwoods League Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that serves as a vehicle to transform a shared passion for baseball into positive change and support for communities. The Mission of the Northwoods League Foundation is to utilize the game of baseball to enrich the quality of life for children and families with an enduring and caring focus on Northwoods League communities.

"Share the Glove is an exciting opportunity for the Foundation to support youth organizations throughout our communities during the highly visible celebration of the Northwoods League's 25th anniversary," said Gary Hoover, Northwoods League Foundation Secretary. "We not only have the chance to impact those communities where the Northwoods League operates, but to foster a love and appreciation for the games of baseball and softball through participation."
