Sponsorship Opportunity

 

Dear Toledo Hockey Supporter:

 

As you may know, our club is a competitive, non-varsity team made up of approximately twenty-five full time student-athletes representing the University.  We compete in the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA), as well as in a regional conference known as the Tri-States Collegiate Hockey League (TSCHL).  As such, we compete against teams from other colleges and universities such as the University of Michigan, Ohio State University, and Bowling Green State University. The upcoming 2012-2013 season will consist of roughly 30 games against these schools as well as many others both in Ohio and throughout the Midwest.  Last year marked one of our most successful seasons in recent years, as we compiled a 23-9 regular season record and went on to win the TSCHL playoff championship.  This year we’d like to take that success one step further and earn a spot to an ACHA regional tournament from which we can possibly earn a spot in the national tournament.

 

However, we cannot do this alone.  Annually, the University of Toledo only provides us with approximately $10,000 which covers only a fraction of our $50,000 budget.  The remainder of this cost is paid for through player dues, fundraising activities, and corporate sponsorships from businesses like your own.  Thus, for us to accomplish our goals, we need your help and generosity.  As you well know, building a successful business, like building a successful hockey team, takes a lot of time, effort, dedication, and capital investment. 

 

As a part of the University community, we have unique access to affordable on-campus advertising for your company.  This is a market which is made up of over 20,000 students who live both on campus and around the greater Toledo area.  By working with your business, we provide a one of a kind advertising option that will help you target this demographic.

 

I personally invite you to review the following pages, which include a detailed explanation of the operating expenses for the 2012-2013 season, as well as promotional ideas and advertising opportunities we can provide. All sponsorships can be tax-deductible as a charitable donation to the University.  If you have any questions about any of our programs or you don’t see exactly what you are looking for, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are very flexible and willing to do our best to incorporate your business’ unique advertising needs.  Any questions, comments, or concerns can be directed to the team’s President, Justin Phillips either by phone at 419.351.9249 or by email at phillips.justin@hotmail.com . The members of my organization and I would like to sincerely thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to consider this opportunity and hope that we will be speaking with you again soon.

 

 

 

Sincerely,
