Senior Gift Partner Program
A keepsake for the athlete who earned it
Your school has partnered with Make-A-Ball to make it easy for families to celebrate their senior athletes. Whether it is Senior Night, an awards banquet, or graduation, a custom photo keepsake honors four years of work in a way a certificate never could.
Every product is personalized with your athlete’s game photo, name, jersey number, and position, then made one at a time in Baltimore. Choose a sport-specific ball, a full-size player banner for the ceremony, a photo blanket for the dorm room, or a rally towel for the whole team. There is no minimum order -- order a single keepsake for your senior, or coordinate gifts for the entire class.
As a partner school family, you save 25% on every order with your school’s discount code. Here is how to get it.

How It Works
Choose and personalize
Pick your product and upload your athlete’s photo. Add their name, number, position, and graduation year. Our design team does the rest.
Approve your proof
Within 24 hours we send a digital proof for your approval. Nothing goes to production until you approve it, so check every detail. The sooner you approve, the sooner we start -- your approval speed sets the clock.
We make it and ship it
Once approved, most products are produced in 7-10 business days, banners in 7-14. We ship from Baltimore: 1-2 days to the East Coast, up to 4-5 days to the West Coast.
Order About 3 Weeks Before Your Event
Your proof arrives within 24 hours. Production begins the moment you approve it, so the faster you approve, the faster we start. Most products take 7–10 business days to make, banners take 7–14 business days, and shipping from Baltimore adds 1–2 days on the East Coast and up to 4–5 days on the West Coast. To be safe, we recommend placing your order about three weeks before your event.
