Who can I get to sponsor my high school softball team?
-
Our team's field is terrible, due to budget cuts our field soaks up tons of water when it rains. This turns our field into a lake. In order to fix it, we need $10,000. Any ideas on how we can get a sponsor, so we can raise the money?

Answer:
Go to local businesses that cater to school aged children or athlete themed businesses - pizza places, sporting goods stores, trophy shops, etc and ask them to sponsor. May be better to write a letter and explain what the money will go for. Find out if your league will let you post a sign on the fence at the field or put an ad in your program in exchange for a donation. Ask local restaurants to give a percentage of the sales on a particular night to your team in exchange for bringing in customers. Sometimes small businesses are easier to get donations from because they don't have to get approval from a corporate office somewhere else. In my hometown, orthodontists, dentists, doctors, insurance and real estate agents tend to sponsor sports teams a lot. Go to your town's chamber of commerce to get a list of local businesses. Find out if any of the kids on the team have a relative that owns a business and ask them. You may have to get multiple sponsors to get a donation of that size. You may be able to get a landscaping company to donate some of the work or do it at a reduced price in exchange for being able to post a sign advertising their business at the field.

A sponsor usually pays for smaller things like uniforms. You need to ask the school board for funds or have your team do some a fund raisers.

Have fund raisers like car washes and bake sales and get a restaurant or two to sponser you.

Have a eBay auction for the right to advertise at your new improved field. Use the proceeds from the auction to improve your field. Just remember to either set a reserve price or sell multiple advertising spaces in order to get the money you need. This method would probably also have to be approved by your school district.
