When we wrapped up our first season as a Wilmington Sharks sponsor last August, we made a promise: we'd be back for 2026. This summer, we kept it.
On Target Staffing is proud to continue its sponsorship of the Wilmington Sharks for the 2026 Coastal Plain League season — and once again, our team traded desks for the concession stand to be part of game night in Wilmington, North Carolina.
A Second Summer With the Sharks
The Sharks opened their 2026 campaign in late May, kicking off another summer of collegiate baseball in one of the Coastal Plain League's original markets. Since 1997, the franchise has given Wilmington families a hometown team to rally around — and given some of the nation's top college players a proving ground on their way to the next level.
For On Target Staffing, returning as a sponsor wasn't a question. Last season showed us what this partnership really is: not a logo placement, but a front-row seat to the community we serve.
Stars, Stripes, and Concession-Stand Smiles
Nothing captures summer baseball quite like Independence Day week at the ballpark. This year, our team joined the Sharks' game-day crew — star-spangled overalls and all — serving fans at the concession stand as families packed the stands to celebrate.
There's something grounding about handing a kid a hot dog while fireworks wait in the wings.
It's a reminder that the moments that matter most are built by people showing up for their community. That's a value we recognize, because it's the same one that drives our work every day.
Why We Keep Showing Up
As a nationwide staffing agency offering temporary staffing, direct hire, and on-site managed staffing, we know that strong workforces grow out of strong communities. Continued local sponsorship helps us:
- Deepen relationships with the employers and job seekers who call the Wilmington area home.
- Give our own team shared experiences that build pride and connection.
- Invest in the local events and institutions that make a community worth working in.
- Show — not just say — what a people-first staffing partner looks like.
A one-season sponsorship makes a statement. A returning sponsorship builds a relationship. That's the difference we care about.
A Partnership That Reflects Our Mission
Since 2001, On Target Staffing has connected organizations with the people they need — and connection doesn't stop at the workplace. Whether we're placing associates across our nationwide footprint or cheering on the Sharks from behind the concession window, the mission is the same: bring people together and deliver an experience they'll remember.
The Sharks' front office and game-day staff have been outstanding partners for a second straight summer, and we're grateful for the way they've welcomed our team into the ballpark family.
See You at the Ballpark
The 2026 season runs into early August, with playoff baseball on the horizon — and On Target Staffing will be cheering the Sharks on the whole way. If you're in Wilmington this summer, come catch a game. And if your organization is ready for a staffing partner that shows up for its communities the same way it shows up for its clients, let's talk.
Here's to another great season, Sharks.
