La Crosse and Onalaska Real Estate Agent Bridget Thomas Championing Community-based Youth Athletics

Onalaska, WI — Mar 11, 2025 — Bridget Thomas of Raven Realty is proud to announce her renewed support of Onalaska youth sports through sponsorship of the City of Onalaska Parks & Recreation Banner Program.

"As a parent, I've seen firsthand the incredible value that Parks & Rec programs bring to our community," says Thomas. "My own children - 13 and 10 - have participated in baseball, softball, football, soccer, etc., and I'm so grateful for the opportunities these programs provide.  They teach teamwork, build confidence, and create lasting memories.  I'm excited to continue supporting Onalaska Parks & Rec and our young athletes through the Banner Program."

The Banner Program offers a unique advertising opportunity for businesses to showcase their brand at the Jimmy Olson Fields in Van Riper Park and Jaycee Park on Quincy Street.  These fields are a hub of activity, hosting a variety of youth baseball and softball programs throughout the year, including the highly anticipated annual Ball-a-palooza tournament, which draws thousands of players, coaches, and spectators. 

Thomas' sponsorship will contribute to:

• Keeping costs down: Ensuring accessibility for kids from all backgrounds.
• Improving access: Support new equipment, coach stipends, tournament fees, and other essential resources that keep our youth sports programs thriving.
• Providing quality equipment and facilities: Supporting player development and safety.
• Increasing visibility: Raising awareness and creating more opportunities for these athletes.

"Investing in youth sports is an investment in the future," Thomas states. "These young athletes are learning invaluable life lessons – teamwork, discipline, resilience, and leadership – that will serve them well throughout their lives.  Sponsoring them sends a powerful message: their dreams matter."

Thomas encourages other businesses and individuals to consider sponsoring youth sports in their communities.  "Together, we can create a more equitable and supportive environment for young athletes to thrive. Let's show these young people that we believe in them and their potential."

With this partnership, Bridget Thomas - of Raven Realty -  solidifies her position as a champion for kids in the Coulee Region.
