After three years of continuous support, Little League® International is pleased to announce a year-long extension with Ball Park® Buns, making it the Official Hot Dog and Hamburger Bun of Little League Baseball and Softball through 2024.
“Ball Park Buns has provided incredible support to local Little League programs each year through the Ball Park of Dreams initiative, and we are proud to be able to extend our partnership with them for another year,” said Liz DiLullo Brown, Little League Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing and Business Relationship Officer. “We are incredibly grateful for their commitment of support to improving the experience for children and their families across our thousands of communities, and to the brand’s alignment with Little League’s core value of community.”
The extended agreement comes in coordination with the fourth-straight year of its ‘Ball Park of Dreams” initiative, helping to renovate three local Little League fields across the country. This year, Ball Park Buns also committed to supporting 17 additional local Little League programs in San Diego, Dallas, and Philadelphia through sponsorship funding, signage, and coupons to supply Ball Park Buns products in concession stands for the entire season.
“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Little League Baseball and Softball for the fourth year running. This partnership has allowed us to make unforgettable memories for young athletes on and off the field,” said Taylor Burgess, Brand Manager, Ball Park Buns. “Serving as the Official Hotdog and Hamburger Bun of Little League Baseball and Softball showcases our commitment to delivering authentic ballpark experiences to families nationwide and we look forward to continuing to celebrate the spirit of the game together.”
As a proud sponsor and the Official Hot Dog and Hamburger Bun of Little League Baseball and Softball, Ball Park Buns features the official Little League emblem on its packaging each summer, which is made available in more than 40,000 stores nationwide. Additionally, Ball Park Buns will be on-site at the 2024 Little League Baseball® World Series, Presented by T-Mobile, showcasing featured products at the concession stands and offering fun activations at the Little League World Series Fan Zone.
For more than 75 years, Little League has partnered with major corporations on a national level to help keep the costs for our local Little Leagues to a minimum and to provide unparalleled benefits and resources to those member leagues. Sponsors help leagues operate smoothly, provide training resources for coaches, offset expenses for educational initiatives, offer grant programs for leagues in need, assist in supporting tournament costs, and provide opportunities and knowledge in fundraising, operations, nutrition, and safety. In short, sponsors help leagues offer the best programs possible, so players and volunteers can have a fun and rewarding Little League experience.
