Become a Sponsor

 

​The Borough Cup is proud to announce our Sponsorship Opportunities for the 4th Annual Tournament set for the Summer of 2017. Founded by Met’s Hall of Famer John Franco and Brooklyn Cyclones Assistant GM Gary Perone, the Borough Cup is an 8U-14U youth baseball tournament that hosts its championship games at Yankee Stadium and MCU Park (Home of the Brooklyn Cyclones). The tournaments grassroots efforts have received numerous endorsement over the years, including ones from all Five Borough Presidents and the Major League Baseball Player's Association, who awarded the Borough Cup a grant as part of their Youth Baseball Partnerships.

 

The thing that makes the Borough Cup truly unique is that it is more than just a competition.  Our goal, first and foremost, is to bring unity, spirit, and growth to youth baseball throughout the city. To accomplish this, the Borough Cup not only offers funding for non-profit teams, but will also be investing a portion of all proceeds back into organizations and sandlots across the five boroughs. In order to provide these services, however, we need your help.
