organizaons as possible.

In addion to becoming a valued member of the community as an organizaon, the Tigers front oce sta,

Renegades and form relaonships that have been very benecial to not only the community, but to the

Renegades as well.

Kids was founded to enhance the quality of life of young people and their families throughout the Hudson Valley

by supporng community organizaons whose programs make a posive change in youth, their families and the

community.

The Hudson Valley Renegades, as an organizaon recognize what it means to give back to a community that has

each of the classrooms and distributes free ckets to all of the children who parcipate.

Renegades manager Jared Sandberg and the Renegades players hosted two separate camps to teach kids theoverall fundamentals of baseball. As with other Pitch for Kids related events, everyone paid an entrance fee that

Every night at Dutchess Stadium, the Hudson Valley Renegades would invite a dierent Rescue out to the

ballpark to bring adoptable dogs here in hopes of nding them a forever home. The Rescue would be given

a table to distribute informaon out about their organizaon, which was also a place for fans to go and visit

with the dogs. In the boom of the rst inning the dogs were walked along the warning track while the P.A.

Announcer read a blurb about each animal. Aerward, the dogs would make their way back over to their booth

where fans would go and interact with them. Over 80% of the dogs brought to the stadium were adopted

Organizaonal Community OverviewOenmes, the Lowell Spinners choose to be involved in acvies as silent partners. It is important for us tosupport various causes in the area while keeping a modest prole. There are, however, a few causes withwhich we promote our involvement. On a personal level, our front oce members volunteer me in causesincluding the Lowell General Hospital Cancer Walk, Special Olympics, the Boys and Girls Club, March of Dimesand Cysc Fibrosis/Cerebral Palsy Research. Also, the Spinners have made substanal inroads raising funds forthe Joann Weber Charitable Fund, founded in 2007 by Spinners owner Drew Weber in memory of his wife aera courageous three-year bale with pancreac cancer.

Historically the organizaon has had a number of dierent charitable partnerships, beginning in 1998 with theGreater Lowell Chamber of Commerce and their annual scholarship awards. Thousands of dollars are given awayand the winners were announced at a special pre-game ceremony at LeLacheur Park.

In 1999 the concept of Spinners Charies was born, becoming a vital mechanism for the organizaon toquietly donate funds to worthy causes in our community while keeping a low prole. When you aend a Spinnersgame, youll hear birthday announcements and special welcomes. For each fan-requested announcement, $10is donated towards Spinners Charies, money which goes directly back into the Merrimack Valley community.

Beginning in 2002, the Spinners began to focus their eorts on one specic charity each summer, with a goalof raising both public awareness and funding. Aer an extensive interview process, we narrow our choices tocauses we felt we would be able to develop the strongest partnership with and make the most local impact. Overthe next ve years the organizaon partnered with Kids in Disability Sports, the Cysnosis Research Network,the Crohns and Colis Foundaon of America, Challenge Unlimited at Ironstone Farm and the Winter WarmthProject.

This process culminated in 2007, when the Spinners selected the Lustgarten Foundaon for Pancreac CancerResearch, to honor Joann, who was by most accounts the heart and soul of the team. The team raised over

$29,000. Since the 2008 season the Spinners have changed their approach, partnering directly with the a causenear and dear to the hearts of the enre Spinners family: the Joann Weber Charitable Fund. Throughout theseason the organizaon raises funds through a series of 50/50 raes, jersey aucons and a rae for a CaribbeanCruise before our annual Alumni Dinner to cap o the years fundraising.

In 2010, the Spinners fans again proved why they are the best in baseball, stepping to the plate throughoutthe season for the Joann Weber Charitable Fund, Lowell Spinners Charies and other assorted charity avenuesdespite a sluggish economy. The season concluded with the Spinners annual Alumni Dinner, where ClayBuchholz, a 2005 Lowell Spinner, returned to Lowell to accept the Dick Berardino Meritorious Alumni Award inan event, which generated over $23,000 in revenue!

Community Programs and PromoonsLowell Spinners Internship Program:College Students:

The Spinners hire students from high school and college who are looking to begin a career in sports for in-seasonand o-season internships. Since 2008 the Spinners internship program has been expanded to include more

than 20 dierent opportunies each summer, with a chance for full-me employment in the industry following

the compleon of the program.

Lowell Spinners High School World Series / Holiday Basketball Tournament:High School Students:

Developed in 2005, the Spinners World Series is a high school tournament between four area schools in

which a player from each team wins a college scholarship. The winning team claims the Spinners Canaligator

trophy for the year. In 2008, the tournament added a winter component, as the Spinners Canaligator trophy was

awarded to the winning team in the Greater Lowell Holiday Basketball Tournament the Spinners sponsored. Each

connued through the 2010 season.

Alumni Awards Dinner:Joann Weber Charitable Fund:Held annually each winter since 2002, the Spinners Alumni Awards Dinner is our largest and most successful

fundraising opportunity of the year. With the assistance of Spinners alumni and the great Spinners fans, this

years dinner raised over $23,000.

Baseball Buddies:Local Youth Groups:

At each home game, the Spinners invite local youth groups, from Lile League teams to Cub Scouts and Girl

Scouts, into the dugout before the game and onto the eld with the players during player introducons and the

singing of the naonal anthem.

Aucons for a Cause:Lowell Spinners Charies:

At each 2010 Spinners home game, the organizaon set up a silent aucon of Boston sports memorabilia.

Through consignment, the charity would make 80% of the prot on each item. Addionally we were able to use

this as avenue to sell game-used pants with holes, broken bats and signed giveaway items, baseballs, ect. from

our players with minimal or no cost. The event raised over $5,500 in just about 20 dates in 2010.

Home Run Ball Drop Fundraiser:Lowell Spinners Charies / Merrimack Valley Area Charies:

A promoon that not only raised money for Lowell Spinners charies, but allowed charies a fundraising

opon of their own while providing a great in-game promoon for our second to last game of the year. The

Home Run Fundraiser was a partnership with over 25 dierent charies in the Merrimack Valley selling ball

numbers to their supporters and at 2010 Spinners home games. For each ball sold, $5 went to Spinners Charies

and $5 went to the charity selling the balls. Over $10,000 was raised.

The fundraiser culminated with the dropping of thousands of so-toss white baseballs from the back of ahelicopter above targets in the ouield at the ballpark. Over $3,500 in cash prizes were awarded and a great

tradion was born.
