Join The Growlers<\/h2>\n

Become a Host Family<\/h3>\n

Imagine you\u2019re watching a major league baseball game and you recognize the pitcher as the young player who spent a summer in your house years ago. This could be you.<\/p>\n

Help our Growlers players as they fulfill their dreams of playing baseball and enjoy a summer you and your family will never forget.<\/p>\n

We are always looking for generous families and individuals to open their homes to our players during the summer.<\/p>\n

Since the Growlers\u2019 inception in 2014, numerous families and individuals have warmly offered their homes and provided welcoming food and lodging for student-athletes traveling from far and wide.<\/p>\n

This has created an immediate \u201cbooster club\u201d and a dedicated fan base within the Kalamazoo community and beyond.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Benefits<\/h3>\n

Numerous lifetime relationships have been forged between NWL players and their Host Families over the years and we expect more to develop in each future season.<\/p>\n

Graduations, weddings and holidays have all been shared by host family members and NWL players.<\/p>\n

Children of host families have been fortunate enough to receive baseball tutelage and view NWL players as role models not available to most youth.<\/p>\n

Becoming a host family is a commitment, but it\u2019s also one of the best opportunities and experiences we can offer for both our student-athletes and community members.<\/p>\n

With multiple former Growlers in the MLB and more on the path to the majors, you could host the next World Series champion.<\/p>\n
