ONLY WAY IS UP
Even during an economic downturn, we are pleased to announce that our last drive has been a big success. During the second year of the Dugout Club, we received donations of nearly $10,000. This is an 80 percent improvement from our first drive. Our membership increased by 21 people, growing from 34 to 55 members.
With the funds that have been raised, we were able to purchase a tarp and tarp cover for the team and recently purchased sod for the infield. We still have a healthy working base to further supplement Northwestern’s baseball program.
We are looking forward to another profitable year and hope to provide much more for the program.
PROGRAM AND FACILITY
The baseball field, now Myers Stadium, has undergone numerous facelifts over the past year, including a new pressbox and permanent seating. Iron work will be added to give the park a modern day touch. To view pictures of the newly-revamped facility, log onto:

DUGOUT CLUB SCHOLARSHIP
This year marks the second year we have offered a chance to donate to the Dugout Club Scholarship Endowment. Even though our program is well funded, we are not fully funded. We are striving to take our level to the same as the upper echelon teams.
To begin dispersing this scholarship money, we anxiously await raising $10,000. Once this mark is established, it will be a guaranteed annual scholarship. We hope to continue to increase the amount of the scholarship and branch out to as many players as possible in the near future.
We need your help in making this dream become a reality! The scholarship endowment is separate from the actual Dugout Club membership and your donation can be made on the other side of this brochure. You can donate in a lump sum, have monthly payments drafted from your bank account or credit card, or join the Millennium Club.
WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT
The Ranger Dugout Club is separate from the University and from the baseball office. Club members are comprised of an exclusive group of individuals seeking to expand and continue the growth and success of Ranger Baseball.
The Ranger Dugout Club will supplement the baseball budget with an additional funding source to provide our student athletes with a great college experience. The funds will initially be spent to provide such things as but not limited to additional equipment, meals, lodging, travel, and many more incurred expenses throughout the course of a season.
GIFT SIZE DOESN’T MATTER
You can do your part by contributing a donation annually. Any amount you can give will be appreciated and accepted. In return for your donation, you will receive correspondence along with a schedule (when available) so you can catch the Rangers in action. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated by former, current, and future Rangers as we strive to improve our baseball program.
