The Beloit Snappers, along with the other 13 teams in the Midwest League, teamed up in 2008 to donate $1,142 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rock, Walworth and Jefferson Counties.
Each season, the Midwest League asks its member teams to select a deserving organization in their respective communities to receive a portion of the past season's league revenue. This year the Snappers picked Big Brothers Big Sisters as their recipient.
This year the Snappers also helped out local organizations such as the Beloit Youth Hockey Association, Merrill Community Center, Boy Scouts of America, UW-Rock County, Turner Middle School choir, Sharon Baseball, Beloit Bombers Baseball, Mercy Health Systems and many more in their fundraising efforts. The Snappers donated to over 250 different organizations and fundraisers in 2008.
Earlier this season, the Snappers reached out to help flood victims both locally and nationally. The Snappers donated 50 cents for every ticket sold from their July 3 game against the Clinton LumberKings as well as cash donations resulting in $1,334.10 for flood victims. Half of that total went to Minor League Baseball Charities (Flood Relief Fund) and the other half went to the Stateline United Way (Flood Relief Fund).
