Alice Bell/Spring Hill Ballpark, located in north Knoxville, Tn at 3511 Alice Bell Road, is home to the Alice Bell/Spring Hill Recreational Commission Inc. The ABSHRC is charged with implementing and running the community's athletic program.
Alice Bell/Spring Hill Recreation Commission Inc.(ABSHRC) is in the process of applying for our non-profit 501(c)3 determination from the IRS. ABSHRC for over forty years has operated on a non-profit basis ensuring every dollar is re-invested in our youth activities. By achieving our 501(c)3 status with the IRS we will be able to provide tax deductions for our sponsors. With the help of our initial sponsors we can obtain the funds needed to submit the user fee required by the IRS. We will then be able to back date our non-profit status to our inception of becoming a corporation, and enable your donation to be tax deductible in this fiscal year. Some previous sponsors have made their deduction in form of advertising write-offs. Your help in helping us achieve this will be greatly appreciated. We are dedicated to building character, courage and loyalty in local area youth by providing a fun, safe, and competitive baseball, basketball, cheerleading and football programs. To be successful, ABSHRC requires a tremendous amount of support by the local community.
Your tax-deductible donation helps offset the costs of equipment, player insurance, operational expenses, and will help supplement participation fees.

Individual or packaged ABSHRC SPONSORSHIPS
BULLSEYE SPONSOR
Field availability (SANDY KOUFAX and WILLIE MAYS)
NEW FOR 2007. This year, we are placing one bullseye sign in each of our larger fields. These signs will be placed above the fence line with the assurance that any ball hitting the bullseye is an automatic homerun. We are seeking a sponsor willing to become a focal point of the field, but also willing to donate a prize for anyone capable of hitting the sign during an official game. The odds definitely are with the sponsors. However, should a lucky player hit the bullseye, we are seeking a minimum award of $50. The award can come in the form of a gift certificate, savings bond or selected product.
Bullseye Dimension: 3'5 radius
Requirements: Must purchase vinyl banner below bullseye
Annual Cost: $750.00/field plus awards
