7. Please consider becoming a sponsor of our Dugout Club. We receive limited funding from our athletic department to run the program. In addition to yearly fixed costs (purchase of baseballs, field maintenance, replacement of old equipment/uniforms), we are working to improve our baseball facilities. Thanks to the generous support of the Dugout Club, we have been able to construct a visitor bullpen, repair our home bullpen, repair our outdoor hitting facility, build storage units in our dugouts, paint/stain the dugouts/wooden backboards, add dugout safety fencing, and replace dugout benching.

8. This year's Viking Country Auction will be held March 9th, 2024. Many of our families/supporters have generously donated items for this year's auction. 100% of money that is raised for the items that have been designated "Baseball" will go directly to our baseball program.
