The Amarillo Sod Poodles released today the details of its 2020 "Launch-A-Ball" program presented by KTBLACK Services to benefit local non-profit organizations by providing 50% of the nightly jackpot to the organization with the other half going to the winner.
Launch-a-Ball is a great way for area non-profit groups (schools, churches, etc.) to raise money during a Sod Poodles home game. Each game, one organization receives numbered tennis balls to sell (3 balls for $5) from a table on the concourse. Groups can also walk around the ballpark and sell them in the stands and at the Suite Level. The non-profit group receives 50% of gross sales for their night.
Each organization also receives in-park recognition via live public address announcements on their night and can display promotional materials at their table to promote their cause.
For an organization to become eligible for Launch-A-Ball, they must first participate in a ticket fundraiser which will benefit their organization.
Fans who purchase from Launch-a-Ball groups will have the opportunity to toss their numbered tennis ball(s) into targets in left-field after the game for a chance to win the grand prize of 50% of the nightly jackpot or a prize from one of many local businesses partnered with the Sod Poodles.
For more information or to get involved with Launch-A-Ball during the Sod Poodles 2020 season, organizations can call the office at 806-803-7763 or email [email protected].

Amarillo will host their 2020 home opener at HODGETOWN on Thursday, April 16 against the Travelers to begin their initial 11-game homestand.
