Baseball is still a few months away, but plans are already underway for the 2009 season. The coaching staff and players would like to thank you for your support of the Helias Crusader Baseball program throughout the years.
We are in the process of producing our 6th annual media guide. The program is a highly visible publication that includes photographs, schedules, statistics and insights into the upcoming season. By advertising in the Crusader Baseball Media Guide, you will be promoting your business as well as showing your support for the players and coaches who are dedicated to a winning tradition at Helias. Funds raised from the ads sold will go toward printing costs of the guide as well as equipment and other season expenses.
If you are interested in advertising in our 2009 edition, please contact Coach Chris Wyrick at cwyrick@heliashs.com. You can also download the ad contract if you prefer. Thanks for your continued support of the Helias Baseball program.
