Hi Aptos Little League Families,

Our Hit-a-Thon is on Saturday, March 28th, which is just around the corner!

The winning fundraising prizes have been updated. Top prize for first place fundraiser is a Playstation 5 (PS5), second place is a customized set of AirPods, third place will get cool Aptos swag to choose from. Top fundraising team will get a pizza party for the entire team.

This is our largest and main fundraiser, and ensures the league can provide a great experience for all of the players and families.

For families new to the Hit-a-Thon, this is a fundraiser where the players raise donations in the form of a flat amount or a dollar amount per foot that they hit the ball. There are prizes, both for individual player and for the teams with the most donations. More information about format and schedule will follow.

The location will be Aptos Junior High School.

Each player will head to the dugout to get their name called and be given 5 hittable pitches. The farthest one gets measured, and the players with the top three distances from each division will be featured on the Aptos Little League website as Gold, Silver and Bronze winners.
You will be able to reach out to friends and family by email, Facebook, and Twitter, instead of going door-to-door, tracking commitments, and handling checks. The ability to fundraise with the support of our player’s families and the local community provides vital funds for better and safer equipment for our young athletes and helps with critical field maintenance and improvements.

We are using an online system called 99Pledges to manage our fundraiser. Each player has a personal page where friends and relatives can go to donate/pledge for that player. We will still have a system to collect the cash and checks. Players will receive a pledge sheet to collect donation commitments.

So, please watch for an email from 99Pledges coming to you. It will come from support@99pledges.com with the name Aptos Little League Hit-a-Thon. This email will give you necessary instructions and the link to your player's page.

See you all at the Hit-a-Thon!
