DGYB and WHITE SOX ANNOUNCE NEW UNIFORM PARTNERSHIP
DGYB is excited to announce the White Sox will be provding uniform shirts and caps to all Spring 2013 in town participants. The teams will sport many styles of Sox uniforms - from pinstripes to throwbacks to Sox logos and others in various colors. Throughout the season, the White Sox also will provide the leagues and teams with instructional videos featuring White Sox players and coaches. In addition, the team will recognize a player from each league during every White Sox homestand by having the young athletes’ photos and names featured on the center field scoreboard. Local sponsors will continue to play a key role in DGYB, as sponsor names will continue to be prominently displayed on the jerseys. Savings from the uniform sourcing is earmarked for major field improvements that will be announced in the Spring.

DGYB has made investments in playing field reconfiguring, installation of safety equipment and general improvements over the past year that has totaled over $40,000. These funds come from fundraisers (Sox outing, various donations) and overall sound fiscal management of the organization. A complete list of improvements or any questions related to this or the general operation of DGYB can be directed to board@dgyb.org. Thanks to all for the continued participation and support.
