Tee Sign Sponsorships

  Discraft Shoot The Breeze Open Sponsorships  

Shoot the Breeze Disc Golf Club announces our annual Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) sanctioned event - The Shoot the Breeze Open. This is a two-day disc golf tournament at Lake Shore Park in Ashtabula, Ohio. In addition to being PDGA sanctioned, The Shoot the Breeze Open has also affiliated itself with the Can-Am series, the oldest disc golf series in existence, with 20 years of disc golf tournaments in the Great Lakes region of Canada and the US. Our expected field of 90 professional and amateur disc golfers could make this the biggest disc golf event ever at Lake Shore Park.

You can promote your business or group while helping to advance this new sport. We are offering two levels of tournament sponsorship.

Tournament Sponsor: This level will get your business or groups name on all tournament print (includes flyers, the scorecard, and posters), a mention on the tournament website, and the opportunity to offer coupons to all tournament participants in a players package. Local lodging establishments could also offer a "Tournament Rate" which would be advertised to the participants. This level of sponsorship is only $100 cash or equivalent merchandise.

Major Sponsor: This level offers all the same benefits as the Tournament Sponsor, with significant added benefits. As the Major Sponsor (there will only be one), you would get title mention on all Print, website and media information, as the tournament name will now include your business or group. (e.g. The XYZ Corporation Shoot the Breeze Open.) An added incentive provided by Shoot the Breeze Disc Golf club is a full tee sign sponsorship for 2004 (a $500 value). This level of sponsorship is only $750 cash or equivalent merchandise.

CTP Sponsor:
$25.00 will get you a hole sponsorship with your name on our CTP signs.

Dear Community Leader,

  Although you may not have heard of disc golf, it has been around for more than twenty years and is gaining popularity all across the US, and even globally. It is a game played like golf, only using a flying disc (like a Frisbee™) and above ground targets. It is a family style recreation, with over 1500 permanent courses in the US (28 in Ohio) and over 1,000 courses worldwide. There are about 175,000 people that regularly enjoy this game, and over 3 million have tried it. The courses are generally in public parks, and are usually free to play. Participants just follow tee signs through the park with their flying disc in hand. Currently the closest permanent disc golf course to Ashtabula is in Clarence Darrow Park in Champion, OH. Our members have been working about three years, trying to promote disc golf to local parks. We formalized our club in the fall of 1999, and we have signed a contract with Lake Shore Park to place a course in the park for the second year in a row.
This is where you come in. We have incurred considerable costs in purchasing the tee signs and targets. We are looking for community sponsors to help with costs, as the Lake Shore Park budget does not cover these expenses. For a $500 sponsorship fee for one hole, your business or organization will be prominently recognized with your name and logo, along with any other text you would like to provide, on an 8 ½" x 11" area of a tee sign. There are 18 of these tee signs throughout the park, and your individual sponsorship will appear on one sign for the entire Year 2003 or 2004 disc golf season (May 1 - Nov. 1). A half-sign sponsorship (8 ½" x 5 ½") is also available for $350, and the space would be shared with another half-sign sponsor. All sponsors will also be acknowledged on our website.
One third a sign would cost $200.00 and we also have an individual sponsorship for $25.00 that will share the whole tee sign with our list of contributors.
If you have been to Lake Shore Park recently, I'm sure you have noticed how beautiful it has become, and that it is really a community asset. Most summer weekends bring out scores of families, and this activity will serve to enhance the park even more. I hope that you will consider this chance to promote and sponsor a new family recreation, and your contribution will be visibly recognized.
Of course, contributing for more than one hole would be both welcome and appreciated. Thank-you for taking the time to review this request. We look forward to your participation.
