2023 Baseball Sponsorships
Walton Baseball is returning seven starters from last year’s winning team. This is Coach Clark’s second year leading the baseball team at Walton High. Between our Junior Varsity and Varsity teams, we'll have over 30 players.
We're looking for local businesses and individuals to sponsor our Baseball program. Available levels are below:
Renegade level - $150
This level will have your name or business printed on a large sign along with other Renegade-level sponsors. This will be proudly displayed along the fence as you walk into the baseball facility.
Tomahawk level - $350
The Tomahawk level earns businesses/individuals their own sign. We use a high-quality local print shop to make the signs each year. They will also be displayed along the fence as you walk into the baseball facility.
Golden Chief level - $1000
The Golden Chief level is our top level. This level includes your own sign; four Walton Baseball hats & t-shirts; and two season tickets. We will also host a Golden Chief recognition night that will include a pre-game meal.
Season ticket packages may also be purchased for $70. This includes one ticket for each regular season home game and a Walton Baseball t-shirt. Please contact Coach Hicks for more information on season tickets (850-333-0141 or hicksd419@gmail.com).
