NEGRO LEAGUE BOBBLEHEAD SERIES RAISES $56K IN FUNDING WITH KICKSTARTER... AND COUNTING!
Milwaukee, WI -- The Kickstarter Campaign to create a series of officially
licensed, limited edition bobbleheads to celebrate the 100th
Anniversary of the founding of the Negro National League has raised over
$56,000 with five days remaining. The project was launched on December
12, 2018, by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum and Dreams
Fulfilled in conjunction with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. The
goal of the series is to honor and celebrate the league and its players,
many of whom were never honored with a bobblehead, while also educating
the public about the Negro Leagues and its players.
Two stretch goals have been added since the start of the campaign, with the first being a bobblehead of Effa Manley, the only female in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Since the campaign hit the $40,000 mark, that bobblehead is being produced. If the $60,000 mark is reached, the first Milwaukee Bears bobblehead will be produced as part of the second stretch goal. Two additional stretch goals are in the works if the campaign's momentum continues through the final days. Since the campaign hit the goal, the production process began for several of the other bobbleheads in the series, and Kickstarter backers were the first to see those bobbleheads.
Kickstarter Backers can secure the best pricing by supporting the project before production of the series begins. Several options are available through the Kickstarter Campaign for people wishing to support the project. As soon as the campaign reached the goal, production of additional production process for the remaining bobbleheads in the series will begin and the bobbleheads will be available in the National Bobblehead HOF and Museum's online and retail stores, Dreams Fulfilled's website, www.NegroLeaguesHistory.com, the Negro League Baseball Museum Store and other outlets throughout the country.
