MOOSIC — The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Triple-A/New York Yankees) recenlty announced a youth sponsorship initiative through the newly-formed Pinstripe Pals Program.
The Pinstripe Pals program includes a $500 sponsorship from the RailRiders and a $500 gift card to Maines Food & Party Warehouse for each selected league.
The program is open to Little League Districts 16, 17, 18, 29, 31 and 32 along with Cal Ripken district five. All Greater Pittston little league teams qualify.
Benefits include: The chance for each selected league to be honored at a RailRiders game with a pre-game parade on the field; The league’s ability to choose a photo for the cover of the GuideRail cover for that league’s game; A mascot appearance and giveaways for the league’s opening ceremonies; One of the league’s teams can serve as the “Field of Dreams” squad that takes PNC Field with the RailRiders.
For consideration, a league representative should fill out a form found on the RailRiders website and mail it along with a 500-word essay describing why the RailRiders should choose his/her league. The completed forms and essays should be sent to SWB RailRiders, Attn: Pinstripe Pals, 235 Montage Mountain Road, Moosic, PA 18507.
Please note that the sponsorship preferably requires that a team within each selected league adopts the nickname “RailRiders” and uses the RailRiders logo on team jerseys/shirts.
