In addition, Bradley Softball is continuing memberships to the 220 Club. If Long Ball Derby sponsorships or flat pledge results in a $220 donation or higher, individuals will be added to the club and receive Bradley Softball swag plus access to the 220 Club Instagram page for all the behind-the-scenes scoop on Bradley Softball. Individuals will also gain the associated Braves Club membership benefits based on their giving level. If pledges do not reach $220 and sponsors would like access to the 220 Club, individuals can choose to supplement their donation with a flat gift to make up the difference.
