go around to all the shops in your area. ask for the manager. then tell you you want them to sponsor your team. tell them why and give them the details. then tell them where you'll display their logo's which they provide and tell them in like programs, or you'll announce them over the intercom as thanks. especially try local buisness's. they really like the advertising and love to support other local activities.

You might ask a local business to serve as your sponsor; in exchange for sponsoring your team, you wear their name on your t-shirts?! Something like that? I'd say check with a local bar/grille, market, community business. \nGood Luck!! Bowl Good!! : )

try out for an aba team, they have open tryouts and a lot easier to make. check them out abalive dot com . a lot of nba scouts go to some of their games. that or either buy live 06 and create a player.

Contact the coordinator of the camp and ask if there are any sponsorships. If not, go and visit some of your local businesses and ask them if they would like to sponsor you.\n-If your parents really can afford the camp then you should pay and not take sponsorship opportunities away from the less fortunate.

Other than sponsors, you can start a letter writing campaign to your county's board of directors.  Make sure you emphasize the importance of youth sports/activities in your community.  The future of any community is the children in it.\n\nGood luck!!!!  :D

Corporate sponsorship of youth sporting events is big business. Most corporations have annual budgets for sponsorship and charitable donations, relative to forcast revenues based on past business performance. An arena that holds 4000 is considered a minor or small venue and the advertising to head ratio return on such an event would be minimal. Depending on how much sponsorship you need, looking for multiple sponsors may be the best avenue. A business plan shows that you are organized and professional, but you still need a compelling cause. Coca Cola puts their name on just about every event held, it brings very little cache'. Seeking event sponsorship is a full time job. Top tier corporations are slammed with requests daily and very few squeak through the first gate.\n\n1. Develop a query letter.\n2. Pick at least 100 companies that you believe will benefit from exposure at this event.\n3. Contact each of these companies to determine if they are candidates for sponsorship without asking for sponsorship. You need to find out if their charitable expenditures are tagged or if they are open to requests.\n4. Offer exclusivity on a first come first served basis.\n5. Redefine your scope and expand your search net to 100 second tier companies. \n\n\nUnfortunately, this is a time consuming process and you have very little time left.

Look into Griffon's women's basketball camps for girls. They are sponsored by and at Western Missouri State University.

Talk to your church or business in the community.  Draw up a flyer to give them, giving the details of the trip and why it's important to go.  Offer to have your daughter come back and make a presentation afterwards about what she learned (especially good for a church that has kids' classes).  Check with your local politicians - city, county and state and make a pitch.  Have your daughter get ACTIVELY involved in finding her own sponsor.  It will come across better (i.e. she has an interest in getting there herself) and will teach her some responsibility.

Firstly where do abouts do you live? and seccondly how young are you talking?\n\nBut to answer your question you will need to post a eye grabbing advertisment in the paper, online or in basketball orintated places that specifically targets your chosen age. Like for girls mention girl stuff.

Hello there! You might want to tell us what your business is about in order to have a clear idea on who your sponsor should be. \nLuck,\nMia

Ask. Find a company that has some sort of connection to the sport or team. Think sponsorship as advertisment, you have to offer something to the compaany and it needs to show some sort of results. Lets say a company has the option of sponsoring your team or running a local radio commercial, you need to make your option a better option, have better results, etc...\n I have raced RC cars for a LOT of years and have been sponsored by several companies. When I get spnosored I try to think of myself as an employee of said company and my goal is to do whatever it takes to make the company money.\n One thing that DOES work is to start out small, look for local companies and ask if they will sponsoer you for a small discount on services or goods. Heck ask if you can use them as a sponsor even if they DON'T offer you anything. The more sponsors you can put down on a "resume" the better it will look to futre sponsors.\n I think the most important thing to do though is ASK, the worst they can say is no, and you never know who might say yes?

Is this through school?\n\nIf through the school there are organizations that can help with it.  Such as the big candy sales, car washes, selling flowers at the school which can be delivered, a bake sale, etc.\n\nIf it is through an outside group....\n\nYou can do some of the same things, but you can also go to businesses and ask them to sponsor your squad.  Which you will give them a letter of thanks and for their taxes (since it should be a non profit organization).  You can also have inexpensive t-shirts printed up where the team name is on the front and the back lists the sponsors.  You can probably get a tshirt printer to give you a break if you have them put their info on the shirt too.

I don't know about a sponsorship letter template, but I have some suggestions for sponsors.\n\nBand instrument companies\nUniform companies\nDance clothing and shoe companies\nDance academies/teaching studios\nFlag sales\n\nAnd best of all, I think, but would cause you some research.  See if you can get names of some people in town who have been in either drum and bugle corps or winterguard in the past 20 years.  Find out if any of them own their own businesses and send to them.  For example, here in Wichita, some of the drum and bugle corps alumnae own their own insurance companies, some are lawyers, etc.  If you could find out some of those people and get a letter to them directly, it would help.
