CEDAR
KNOLLS, N.J., July 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Eggland's Best, in collaboration
with Little League® International , is thrilled to
announce the winners of the inaugural Challenger Pin Contest:
Maverick B. of the California
District 68 Challenger Division team and Mike C. of New Jersey's Manalapan Township Little League
Challenger Division team! After calling on the players of this
year's Little League Challenger Division Exhibition Game to design
a unique pin inspired by Eggland's Best and the Challenger
Division, one winner from each team has been chosen for their
outstanding custom pin design, which will be produced and
distributed at the 2024 Little League Baseball® World
Series and Challenger Exhibition Game this August.
"The Little League Challenger Division Exhibition Game, now in
its 22nd year, is a highlight of the season, bringing
together two exceptional local Little League programs for friendly
competition," said Sam Ranck, Little
League Senior Director of Strategy and Development. "The Challenger
Pin Contest has added a new layer of excitement this year and we
are grateful for the dedication of the volunteers in each league's
community and are thrilled to showcase the incredible creativity of
Maverick and Mike through their pins."
The Challenger Pin Contest invited players participating in this
year's Challenger Exhibition Game to submit unique designs that
embody the spirit and values of the Challenger Division and
Eggland's Best. Maverick B. and Mike C. stood out among numerous
impressive entries for their inspiring designs that beautifully
capture the essence of teamwork, inclusion, and sportsmanship. As
part of their victory, the player's designs will be transformed
into collectible pins and distributed to players, families, and
fans during the duration of the tournament and Challenger
Exhibition Game on August 24.
"As a proud sponsor of Little League, we've witnessed the
pin-trading culture firsthand at each World Series tournament and
we are thrilled to put a new spin on this cherished tradition with
the Challenger Division this year," said Kurt Misialek, President & CEO of Eggland's
Best. "Both teams rose to the challenge with so much creativity and
enthusiasm as they designed their EB-inspired pins, and we look
forward to celebrating Maverick and Mike's winning designs at the
upcoming tournament."
As part of its ongoing support of the Little League Challenger
Division, Eggland's Best, the Official Egg of Little League
Baseball and Softball, will match Little League International's
grant value, donating an additional $15,000 each to the participating leagues to
enhance the operation and offerings within their program.
