Interested adult recreational teams are encouraged to apply for a Labatt sponsorship now through May 31.

You can apply here for the rec league grant.

Selected teams will be awarded $500 to buy uniforms, pay league dues, or cover other team needs.

"Anyway we can help out to get people out and playing we're really looking to make this a full circle thing," said Corey Berger, the associate brand manager at Labatt USA.

The program will organize volunteers all summer long to clean up different recreational areas.
