Beepball is an expensive sport to play. A ball
costs $35 a piece and due to the complicated mechanics of it, sometimes
it does not make it through a single practice. On average our team goes
through about 40 balls a season. On top of that, there is no regional
competitive teams to play. The Renegades must travel to play against
other teams around the country. In order to fund the team, the
Association of Blind Citizens helps coordinate events for us to raise
money. Our fundraising methods and activities are listed below:

Fundraising Games:
|
Play a game against the Boston Renegades and
SEE what the excitement is about! The Renegades are looking
for groups or corporations to play games against. We have a lot to
offer your teams. Spend a few hours with the Renegades and get
the opportunity to SEE what its like to put play baseball in the dark.
By playing the Renegades your team will receive the following
- A great team building
exercise allowing your team to see that with teamwork you can
achieve things you never dreamed could be accomplished
- Teach your team to trust each other by
playing baseball with a blindfold on
- Give your team an experience they will
not forget and some laughs they will remember for a long time
- An opportunity to see what it is like to
wear a blindfold and hit a ball, run to bases and play team defense
- A chance to see visually impaired
athletes at their best
These few hours will be a memorable way to
teach your team the importance of teamwork, trust and humility.
Your team can consist of a minimum of 7 players and we can
accommodate any size that you have available. A recommended
amount of people to form your team on the field would be 12 people.
In return for a few hours of fun, we would appreciate a donation
to help support the Boston Renegades costs. It is expensive to
play this sport and your group can help keep the Renegades winning
tradition alive. Whether its winning games or winning by allowing
blind athletes the chance to participate in team sports. Your groups
donation can help both the Renegades and your team be true winners.
