Hamel Legends Club

Since 1926, Hamel Athletic Club has formed a proud tradition of bringing America's pastime to Hamel.  Hamel Baseball prides itself on teaching our children the fundamentals of baseball, but more importantly, how to be better people through responsibility, encouragement, and respect. Hamel Hawks continue the tradition through one of the most storied amateur town ball teams with multiple state championships, the only national championship by a Minnesota town ball team, and seen several players play in college and professional baseball after playing for the Hawks.

The program has experienced tremendous growth in recent years in both participants and success on the field.  To build on this success, Hamel Athletic Club looks to our foundation - our community and families.

Please take a moment to review our corporate and individual giving campaign options that have been created to ensure that Hamel Baseball is the best it can be now, and for another century.

PLEASE NOTE:  Hamel Athletic Club is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and financial support may be tax-deductible.

The Hamel Legends Club is a program to raise funds for capital projects and improvements to the fields. The program is operated under the HAC 501(c)(3) and is overseen by a committee with members from the community -- current members include HAC President Matt Scherer, Treasurer Steve Dixon, Board Member Ryan Wilson, Hawks General Manager Greg DeVos, Hawks Coach Tim Flemming, and Community Representatives Connie Fortin and Tom Dykoff. All funds are deposited in a dedicated account at Farmers State Bank of Hamel and will only be dispersed with committee approval.

Current fundraising efforts are for improvements to Paul Fortin Field and the Little League field, including grading the outfields, installing sprinkler systems, replacing fencing, and building new bullpens.

Hamel Legends Club is asking area businesses, civic organizations, and families for their continued generous support for this fund.

Donors are invited to attend an annual Hamel Legends Club dinner and an annual Legends Night Hawks town ball game at Paul Fortin Field.

Grandstand Nearing Completion

Community Destination

Hamel Athletic Club's most recent project was the construction of a grandstand to serve as a gathering point for members of the community to enjoy Hamel Baseball. A grandstand has been discussed and dreamed of in the community for over 75 years and it is now a reality. Our goal now is to surround the grandstand with a world-class field for players to play on!
