The Lacasse Park Sponsorship Package presents a unique opportunity for you to promote your brand and at the same time support the Tecumseh Baseball Club – one of the most enduring baseball clubs in provincial history.

Athletes are the heart and soul of our program. Tecumseh’s population demographics and the Ontario Baseball Association’s recruitment guidelines pose serious challenges in attracting players to a smaller market. Tecumseh recruits the best by having the reputation of being the best.

We need your support.As our competitors continue to raise the bar across the province, we must make additions to our programs and facilities if we intend to continue competing at the provincial and national levels. Sponsorships help our non-profit club cover the costs of the park’s upkeep and infrastructure requirements as well as other necessary enhancements.Your sponsorship will go towards funding the new lights, a warning track, and facility upgrades.

For the first time in our history, the Town of Tecumseh is permitting signage strategically placed around the Lacasse Park baseball diamond, home of the Tecumseh Thunder, which sees thousands of fans annually. By participating in this affordable sponsorship opportunity you will: •Amplifyyourexistingmarketingmessageand
