This is what we do at Brandywine High
School to raise about $1000/season for the softball program.
I produce a letter (on school letterhead) explaining the need to improve
our program. It could be equipment or uniforms or travel to tournaments.
The letter states: Dear Sponsor: We, the Brandywine Softball team, need your
support. We are looking for sponsors for our practice team shirts. Sponsoring
our team for $30.00 you will provide our girls with a practice tee shirt, but
more importantly the donation will furnish our team with much needed equipment.
The back of each shirt will have your business name on it. This will show the
surrounding community your support to our softball program. Please show your
support and "sponsor a shirt"
Name on back ____________________________________
Thank You,

I have my seniors design and pick out the color of the shirt. We list all the
sponsors on the back in columns. Everything is screened on to cut the cost down
and raise our profit. My shirts run me about $7.00/shirt so that's $23.00
profit/shirt. We try to have the players get 2-3 sponsors. |
