REGINA - Pete Sereggela has been selected as the Sponsor of the Year by Baseball Saskatchewan. The award was announced at the provincial organization's awards ceremony on Oct. 19.
Sereggela's family owns and operates several restaurants in Estevan. According to his bio, for many years, Sereggela has been at the forefront by not only sponsoring the Estevan Tap House Wolves senior team in the Saskota Baseball League, but also supporting other minor baseball and sports teams.
At every home game for the Wolves, Sereggela attends with a large group of friends, watching at a storage garage and inviting all who are attending the game to come for a visit, a drink and more often than not, Tower Café pizza.
Even during the playoffs, when Estevan had a home game, Sereggela and a large group of friends and other business owners were in attendance.
The bio states that during one of the games, Sereggela decided to hand out free pizza coupons to every person present.
"There are not many businesses or business owners that would do something like that, but Pete is recognized and known by everyone in Estevan for that type of generosity," the bio states.
For several years now, as a way to help support the Wolves, there has been a pizza coupon fundraiser through Sereggela and his businesses in downtown Estevan. This fundraiser helps the team raise over $3,000 each year to help pay for fees, umpires, equipment and new jerseys when they are needed.
These coupons fly out of players' hands as everyone in town knows when this comes out and is excited to help support the Wolves and Sereggela's efforts.
Sereggela was one of several award recipients from the southeast. Â鶹ÊÓƵ.ca will have stories on other recipients in the coming days.
