August 14, 2014

Camera manufacturer Canon U.S.A., asthma Inc. has signed a multi-year partnership with the Little League International.

The deal kicks off with the “Print to the Little League Baseball World Series” event in South Williamsport, ed PA. From today through the end of the tournament on August 24, baseball fans from around the world can utilize Canon PIXMA Printing Solutions and cloud technology to share photos and words of encouragement printed on-site to create “The Great Wall of Fandom.”

With the new partnership, Canon becomes the official camera and printer sponsor of Little League Baseball and Softball, the world’s largest youth sports organization.

“From input to output with Canon cameras and printers, the multi-year partnership with the Little League Organization will allow Canon to connect with a new generation of young families who want to capture and share quality memories of this exciting sporting event,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, President and COO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “We are thrilled that the ‘Print to the Little League Baseball World Series’ initiative allows us to demonstrate the ability to print from virtually anywhere to anywhere via PIXMA Printing Solutions (PPS). Moreover, we’re connecting with fans who can’t be there in person, but want to show their support and encouragement for the players.”

“We are excited to welcome Canon as Little League’s newest national sponsor and to the Little League Baseball World Series this August,” said Liz DiLullo Brown, Little League Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Partnerships. “Little League is more than a youth sports organization, it is a youth leadership organization, and thanks to the support of our national sponsors, Little League is able to provide parents a healthy, affordable recreational outlet for their children.”
