Sponsor the Tillicum Tigers!

"Our students are missing out in life from the lessons that come from organized sports." – Tillicum Elementary Principal Taj Jensen

We are looking for a sponsor for the boy’s seven-and-eight-year-olds Tillicum Tiger baseball team.

Tillicum Elementary School Principal Taj Jensen said, “I have long been saying that our students are missing out in life from the lessons that come from organized sports.”

Long ago – and long before that - Tillicum fielded its own baseball teams and now is the time and Tillicum is the place once again!

Sponsorship for 12 boys is $90/player to total $1,080. 

The boys will not expect to be financially supported however without contributing to their neighborhood.  Litter-pickup and other projects in the community will help them demonstrate not only their appreciation for the opportunity to play ball but, at the same time, they will be developing a work-ethic they’ll need throughout life.

The Lakewood Baseball Club works with the sponsor to place the company advertisement on the boy’s team shirt.

Contact David Anderson, president, Tillicum Woodbrook Neighborhood Association, at communitymattersweb@gmail.com, (253) 988-2536.

Registration deadline is March 8.

Thank you!
