We’re making GREAT progress with our Fields for Our Future: Infield Impact campaign! ⚾️🥎 Thanks to the incredible support of our local businesses, so many sponsorship opportunities have already been secured — and we’re getting closer to the finish line!

We still have a few opportunities available:

Bernard Holland Baseball Field 5
On-Deck Circle Sponsorships
Batting Cage Sponsorships
Family Donations

Every sponsorship brings us one step closer to providing reliable fields, fewer rainouts, and more opportunities for Benton’s athletes to play.

Interested in being part of the impact? Reach out to Parks Director Stephanie Jones at [email protected] to learn more about our remaining sponsorship opportunities!

Our parks. Our kids. Our future.❤️
