Boston Renegades Fundraising

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.
