Dear Potential Sponsor,
The Bartlett Raiders Athletic Association, Inc. is a local non-profit youth football and cheerleading organization. To help support the growth of our program, the Bartlett Raiders are looking for sponsorship donations from local businesses and individuals. The Raiders were founded in 1974 to provide a safe, fun and supervised environment for local children (grades Kindergarten through 8th) to learn and cheer for the game of football, and is the longest standing member of the Bill George Youth Football League along with 14 surrounding communities. Our season extends from July through December, and includes football games, cheerleading competitions, and special events like Homecoming, a Pep Rally, and a Pool Party. Many of the children in our program go on to play football and cheer in the local High Schools. With over 95% of our members being residents of Bartlett and the immediate bordering towns make us truly Bartlett’s youth football program for the last three decades. The program is funded primarily through the registration fees paid by participants, which is why we ask for, and greatly appreciate sponsorship donations.
The Raiders program is committed to being a program “for the kids” in our communities! The Raiders are a member of the Bartlett Chamber of Commerce, and participate in a number of community events including the Independence Day Parade, Lions Club Independence Day Festival, the National Night Out.
The sponsorship donation levels are as follows:
White $100 Sponsorship Website listing on our Sponsor’s pages
Black $200 Sponsorship Plaque if desired, Website listing on our Sponsor’s pages plus 1/8 page coupon online
Silver $350 Sponsorship Plaque if desired, Website listing on our Sponsor’s pages and sponsor banner plus 1/8 page coupon online plus menu page option
Gold $550 Sponsorship Plaque if desired, Website listing on our Sponsor’s pages and sponsor banner plus two 1/8 page or one ¼ page coupon online plus menu page option
Platinum $1000 and up - Sponsorship Plaque if desired, Website listing on our Sponsor’s pages and sponsor banner four 1/8 page or two ¼ page or one ½ page coupon online plus menu page option
In 2006, the Raiders launched a new website at www.bartlettraiders.org, and received a tremendous response.
During the months of Aug – Oct which is the busiest time of the year, the Raiders website averaged about 500 visits per day, and almost 1300 page views per day! This is in addition to the fact that we send out weekly newsletters via e-mail as well as any important updates regarding practice, games and competitions directly to our members in an effort to maximize communications. We will provide a complete listing of our website activity, please be advised that we do not track “HITS” as this a grossly inflated number and is in the millions. The Raiders website this year will also be offering sponsors the opportunity to purchase additional website ads, and will be happy to talk to any sponsor who would like to work with us to provide special offers or promotions to the Raiders organization.
We are continuing our referral program this year. If a member brings in a new sponsor to the program, or renews a sponsor they personally brought into the program last year, the member gets a rebate and credit towards their registration fee. A $100 sponsor gets the Raider parent a $25 rebate, $200 gets a $50 rebate, $350 gets a $75 rebate and $550 and up, gets a $100 rebate. Please utilize the attached form to indicate your desired sponsorship type. Should you have any questions, please feel free to call the Raider’s at (630) 674-8999. Again, any sponsorship is sincerely appreciated, as we strive to make the Raiders the best youth football and cheerleading organization for the kids in our community.
Thank you,
The Sponsorship Committee
