The Ledford Softball Program will hold a Hit-A-Thon after school on Friday, March 13th. Every player on our team is being asked to participate by reaching out to five potential “hit sponsors.” Examples of potential sponsors could include family friends, grandparents, teachers or former coaches. If you have found your way to this page, it is because one of our players felt that you could possibly help! We hope you will consider sponsoring, as all funds will go towards the continued growth of our softball program.

Here is how it works… Each hitter will get twenty batting practice swings. The Ledford Coaching Staff will judge if a resulting swing would lead to a hit in a game situation. If one of our players hits a homerun, that swing would be worth two hits instead of one. Their total number of hits would then be multiplied by your ‘Pledge per Hit’ to yield a donation amount. If you are uncomfortable with this method, flat donations are absolutely acceptable and appreciated!

All proceeds will aid the Ledford Softball Program in buying training equipment as well as items to help maintain the playing field and surrounding area. In the past year, fundraising money has gone towards the purchase of:

1. 20 Pair of Pinstriped Softball Pants
2. 15 Pair of White Socks
3. 20 Wristbands
4. 36 Practice Softballs
5. A Dozen Wiffleballs
6. 6 Base Plugs
7. A New Protective Screen
8. A 50 Foot x 10 Foot Net
9. Helmets for our New Players
10. Helmet Decals
11. New Dugout Signage

To show our gratitude for the players, we will provide food and drinks following the fundraising event. We are hopeful that this event will be team-building and will help create improved camaraderie between our players.

Thank you for your support of Ledford Softball!
