Wausau Woodchucks News Release

Wausau, WI - The Wisconsin Woodchucks are excited to announce that the organization will be accepting applications for a baseball equipment package, courtesy of the Northwoods League Foundation. The Northwoods League's newest program, entitled, "Share the Glove", is returning for the 2019 season and is currently available to fans in all Northwoods League markets.

The baseball package holds an approximate retail value of $2500 and includes two sets of catcher's gear, eight batting helmets, ten fielding gloves, one bucket of practice balls and six bats. The Woodchucks will award the baseball package to one organization in central Wisconsin that meets the applicable criteria related to IRS 501(c)(3) guidelines and the Northwoods League Foundation's Mission.

Share the Glove was introduced in 2018 as part of the Northwoods League's 25th Season Celebration. "We were thrilled at the community response to this initiative last season," said Gary Hoover, Northwoods League Foundation Secretary. "Share the Glove embodies not only the mission of the Northwoods League Foundation, but the spirit of the League and its Affiliates. We look forward to further inspiring participation in, and a love for, the games of baseball and softball throughout our communities."

The Wisconsin Woodchucks are eager to begin their application process for the grant. To apply, fill out the online application for your Youth Baseball Program here:
