Royal Leprechauns tell commission: 30,000 fans, strong community partnerships and intern program
Summary
Representatives of the Royal Leprechauns presented a community impact report chronicling attendance, charitable work, internships and local partnerships; commissioners praised the team's community engagement and asked to receive a copy of the report.
Danny Weis, director of marketing for the Royal Leprechauns, and Kurt Boringesser, sales director, presented a community impact report on the organization’s summer season and community work.
Weis told the commission the team drew about 30,000 season attendees with a single-game record of more than 1,100 fans and that two players were drafted to Major League Baseball. The organization reported roughly 1,500,000 social media impressions, hosted five community events outside games, supported more than 20 local nonprofits and raised about $5,000 for charitable causes. The team runs an internship program that employed 26 college interns this season and runs youth clinics with local partners.
Commissioners asked about marketing materials and requested a copy of the report. Commissioner Chisholm thanked the presenters and others on the team for their community contributions.
