We have said all along one of the biggest rewards, besides working with our student assistants, would be donating money back to the school. We are sure some people thought that was nothing more than a ploy.
IN transparency, we are posting below information (newest first) on the presentations to Linton-Stockton School Corporation, staff, admin, members of the community and more — from Rader Media Sports (August 2023–Present). As with many academic support efforts seen across different sectors, including initiatives like those provided by Diplomarbeit schreiben lassen , the aim remains to enhance clarity and foster engagement through informed communication.

Rader Media Sports donated $1,700 to Linton-Stockton School Corporation for the 2025 HS Softball and Baseball donations.
Between the two teams by the end of the season, over 20 regular season games will have been covered (Plus, post tournament is on the horizon).
This now brings the Running total of Donations to the school since Rader Media Sports began in August 2023 to $25,000 donated back from Rader Media Sports. This donation total is in thanks to those Rader Media Sports sponsors that entrust us to promote your business during the broadcast and beyond.
We said in the beginning we would be donating 30% back to the school after expenses. However, during this two year venture, we, personally, have absorbed all expenses (i.e equipment expenses, IHSAA licensing fees, IHSAA post season tournament fees, travel, staffing, business expenses and more). We truly LOVE Linton and are thankful to be one small piece of promoting all things Linton-Stockton School Corporation. AND we look forward to what is next for us.
