“ “The exposure of having our name and signage at the ballpark has been a smart investment for us and is also a nice way of supporting the community which we serve. When we inquire about how

a new customer has heard of our firm, we are surprised that so many heard of us from our sign at the ballpark” - Larry Jungles

Vice President Brown and Brown Insurance

The Slammers aim to be a value-added partner to help our sponsors grow their businesses in Joliet and beyond. Each season, we work with 75—100 different corporate partners at various levels of investment with the team. The choice for area businesses to invest with us, and to see the value in what we can provide, is a true testament of the Slammers appeal.
