This month, Vivid Image is directing its charitable donation toward the Glencoe Brewers, helping fund upgrades at the ballpark as the team gears up to host the Class C regional tournament in the first two weeks of August. Vivid Image is also coming on board as a tournament sponsor.
Kirsten Rounds the Bases for Small-Town Ball
Kirsten Ahlgren, Vivid Image Account Director, chose to put her $250 August donation behind the Glencoe Brewers as they prepare to host teams from across the region for the tournament. The Brewers earned the #1 seed in the CRVL this season, and their fundraiser, led by Glencoe Chamber Treasurer and Brewers board member Michael Donnay, will put the money toward a few long-needed upgrades at the park.
For Kirsten, this one’s personal. Her significant other, Derek, plays for the Brewers, and she and her daughter spend much of their summer at the park too, working concessions and helping host games.
Baseball has a way of becoming a family’s whole world, one game at a time. What started as a few afternoons at the field turned into our favorite part of the summer: lawn chairs set up, snacks packed, and a scoreboard we genuinely love keeping an eye on. Our daughter has grown up in the stands and around the dugout, cheering for her stepdad and this team with everything she’s got! There’s something special about small-town ball, the kind where half the town shows up just because that’s what Sunday afternoons are for. This team has given our family so many of those memories, and watching them earn the #1 seed in the CRVL has been a joy to be part of. Helping support and send the Brewers into the regional tournament felt like the easiest “yes” I’ve made all year.

Cheer On the Brewers
The Glencoe Brewers host all Southwest Class C regional games for the first two weeks of August, and Vivid Image will be announced as a tournament sponsor throughout the event. If you’re in the area, grab a lawn chair and come support the team in person.

Charitable giving is determined by our staff!
Every month, one or two Vivid Image team members select a cause that means a lot to them, and a donation is granted in their name. Then, throughout the year, if staff choose to volunteer at least 25 hours of time, they select another cause to receive a donation, and the staff member also receives a matching contribution in recognition of their work in the community.
