Australian Baseball Alumni is pleased to announce the winners of its recent raffle held to help offset the costs of players at National Championships. 

 

Thanks to those who chose to participate, the raffle was a great success in raising $ 4500. The main contributor to this effort was New South Wales Under 16, with South Australia Under 16 and Queensland Under 18 the two other teams to benefit directly from involvement.

 

We thank Alumni committee member Glenn Williams for taking the time to organise the raffle in order to help players and their parents reduce costs of participation at the nationals.

 

We extend our appreciation to Detroit Tigers and Kevin Hooker for arranging donation of the Miguel Cabrera ball, to Dean Lawler for his kind donations, to the Sydney Blue Sox for supplying a Grant Balfour signed bat, to Trent Oeltjen and John Stephens for their generous contributions.

 

If he has not done so already, Glenn Williams will be in touch with all winners on his return from overseas on 30 January to arrange delivery of raffle prizes.

 

Below is the list of winners, their phone numbers, prizes and an image of the winning tickets.

 

Congratulations to the winners. Thank you to all of those people who supported the raffle.
