Corporate Sponsorship huge in helping fuel success for Warhawks

From the players, to the coaches, to the former players and parents, to the University, to the great Warhawk baseball fans, the UW-Whitewater baseball team’s amazing success has been fueled on tradition.

One aspect of UWW baseball that maybe doesn’t get enough publicity is “Warhawk Nation” providing corporate sponsorship to the baseball program.

The Warhawks set lofty goals each and every season and it is through the financial help of the corporate sponsors that UW-Whitewater is able to be considered among the nation’s elite Division III programs on an annual basis.
