Southington Western Baseball Vying For $10K In D'Angelo Contest

SOUTHINGTON, CT — D’Angelo Grilled Sandwiches this week announced the official launch of its Neighborhood $10K Giveaway program, and a Southington baseball program could receive a donation of $10,000 from a local sandwich shop.

"Our valued guests throughout New England can cast their votes in support of an organization or cause that is important to their community for the chance to make an immediate impact," said Deena McKinley, CMO of D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches. "What’s so exciting about this program is that we leave it to our guests and Team Members to decide where these funds will be used in their neighborhoods, and we can’t wait to see which D’Angelo wins and which organization receives the $10,000 donation."

One of the organizations nominated for the program is the Western Baseball Little League in Southington.

Running a baseball league takes many individuals and requires extensive resources to maintain a safe and quality environment. If the WBL won the $10,000, it would be allocated to cover the cost of field maintenance, equipment, both baseball and facility, and concessions.

"Western Baseball Little League has had a successful relationship with our local D'Angelo restaurant, and are extremely excited to be nominated for this program," said Garrett Ludden, president of the Western Baseball Little League. "We think this is a great opportunity to show the positive influence our organizations have in the community."

D’Angelo Grilled Sandwiches has long had a passion for community engagement and many restaurant teams throughout New England have formed strong relationships with guests and local organizations.

• Building on this passion and framework of local connections, each participating D’Angelo restaurant was tasked with identifying an organization in their community to partner with for the program. Partner organizations include food pantries, youth sports leagues, schools, community centers, pet shelters, and so many more. A full list of participating restaurants and organizations can be found on the voting page at:

Voting will run through Aug. 8.

The D’Angelo restaurant that receives the highest number of votes during the voting period will be deemed the contest winner and will then deliver the $10,000 donation to its partner organization. Supporters of the program can cast their vote for their favorite D’Angelo restaurant and their partnered organization at the link above, as well as through scanning QR codes at each participating restaurant. Participants can submit a maximum of one vote per day.

"Something we’ve always been proud of at D'Angelo has been our passion for working closely with the people in our restaurant communities,” said Jim Croteau, senior vice President of D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches. "Our restaurant teams have formed such strong relationships in their communities, and we’re excited to connect them with a program that will give them a chance to deliver a $10,000 donation. I know we will all have fun promoting it and getting people to vote, because it’s something we are all very passionate about."
