Oregon District 9 Little League: SPONSORS & VENDORS

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS !

OREGON DISTRICT 7, OREGON DISTRICT 2, OREGON DISTRICT 4, and OREGON DISTRICT 3 made financial contributions to help with District expenses at our start-up in 2003, and OREGON STATE LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL advanced a starter fund loan (paid off in 2005!) Thanks, folks!!

Thank you to State Farm Insurance Companies for providing sponsorship to our District in the form of a donation of office equipment! Our 'startup' equipment in 2003 included a fax machine, a copier/collater, and two laptops, a hard drive, monitor, and printer specifically for District 9 administrative operations! (Nearly all are now defunct.) "State Farm's Good Neighbor Grant Program" allows its employees and agents to apply for a $500 grant toward any non-profit program where they volunteer 40 or more hours per year! There's one State Farm employee on District Staff -- and a $500 grant was applied for this first year, with the funds helping cover District Insurance fees and charter fees for the Challenger Division teams! (If you're volunteering in your local league and are an employee or agent of State Farm, click on the "view large logo" bar and it will take you to the website so you can complete a grant application!)

Little League International Corporate Sponsors

For more than 50 years, Little League has partnered with at least one corporation on the national level to help defray the costs parents must pay associated with their children's participation in Little League.
Today, a select group of companies has earned the right to call themselves "Official Sponsors" of Little League Baseball. These companies have displayed a commitment to the children of Little League and to the ideal Little League hopes to instill in children around the world. Little League thanks each of these special companies, and congratulates them on their commitment to the world's youth.

NW Sports Photo Image
The Action Photographer for the 2006 and 2007 District 9 local tournaments, and the 2007 District 9 hosted State Junior Softball Tournament.

NSP is a sports photography company that was established in Portland, Oregon in 1976. It has been under the ownership of Larry & Cheri Tabaka since 1987. At that time it was a very small business run out of a home garage. It is currently the largest sports photography company in Oregon and Washington.

NSP started its Action Program over 7 years ago and now shoots action for many of the Northwest's High School and Youth tournaments, including baseball, softball, swimming, and soccer.

We take action and candid shots on one day, process in our lab, and return to your tournaments as early as the next day with captioned sheets including 1 5x7, 1 3x5, and 2 wallets for purchase while your tournament is still in progress. No waiting for proofs or other delays.

NSP is proud to offer a new service for 1 day tournaments. You can now view your photos online, just choose the images you want, and we take care of the rest.

Our Action Program also includes a refund to the host group. For more information or to schedule a Shoot Day, contact dstout@4NSP.com

A percentage of monies made by NSP when action photos are purchased is returned to the 'contracted' Little League or District!
