UP AND GOING
In
just our first year of the Dugout
Club, the organization has started
off full speed ahead. We garnered
32 members that have graciously
combined to donate over $5,000.
The money raised has been used for
club expenses, Ranger Baseball
team equipment; and we now have a
good working base to further
supplement the Ranger baseball
program.
STATE OF THE
PROGRAM
Many
of you are aware of the generous
gift provided by Todd and Mary
Margaret Miller of Alva to Ranger
Baseball. To jumpstart the
efforts, the Miller’s donated an
initial gift of $300,000 for
facility upgrades for Phase I of
Ranger Field. The gift will help
build a new press box and
permanent seating with cement and
iron work found in virtually all
of today’s modern major league
ball parks. The Miller’s donation
will create a facility of which we
can all be proud. The stadium
upgrades are sure to boost fan
attendance and will definitely
help in recruiting efforts.
DUGOUT CLUB
SCHOLARSHIP
We
are also excited to announce that
we are creating an endowment
scholarship. The Dugout Club is
seeking to raise $25,000 to offer
a $1,000 scholarship to a
deserving player each season. Once
this is established, it will be a
guaranteed annual scholarship. We
hope to continue to increase the
amount of the scholarship and
branch out to as many players as
we can.
We
need your help in making this
dream become a reality! The
scholarship endowment is separate
from the actual Dugout Club
membership and your donation can
be made on the membership form.
ENHANCING RANGER
BASEBALL
The
Ranger Dugout Club is separate
from the University and from the
baseball office. Club members are
comprised of an exclusive group of
individuals seeking to expand and
continue the growth and success of
Ranger Baseball.
The
Ranger Dugout Club will supplement
the baseball budget with an
additional funding source in order
to provide our student athletes
with a great college experience.
The funds will initially be spent
to provide such things as but not
limited to additional equipment,
meals, lodging, travel, and many
more incurred expenses throughout
the course of a season.
GIFT SIZE DOESN’T
MATTER
You can do your
part by contributing a donation
annually. Any amount you can give
will be appreciated and accepted.
In return for your donation, you
will receive correspondence along
with a schedule (when available)
so you can catch the Rangers in
action. Your contribution will be
greatly appreciated by former,
current and future Rangers as we
strive for a "Vision for Victory."
