2017 Ohio Buckets AAU Basketball Sponsorship

I hope this letter finds you well. Before we know it, it will be that time of the year where we will be gathering every weekend to help our area 4th-11th graders become better young men, and better basketball players. I’m thrilled to be a part of the process because I love the game, but love the progress our kids can make over the course of a spring even more. It’s not only about developing your skills, but building friendships and memorable experiences along the way.

This season I am looking for sponsors to donate to my Ohio Buckets AAU traveling basketball team. All donations will be used to help the team purchase jerseys and fund tournament entries across the Midwest. Likely sites for 2017 tournaments include: Sandusky, Cleveland, Toledo, Norwalk, Tiffin, Findlay, Cincinnati, Columbus and Pittsburgh (PA). Donations will also help feed the team while on the road at tournaments.

In return for you or your company’s generosity of a monetary donation, our basketball team will wear a custom-made warm-up top with your company’s name or website featured on the back. With the forever-rising usage of mobile devices, we feel advertising your website will result in the best exposure to your company or brand while we are on the road.

As you hopefully know by now, we are a very active and competitive group, raising trophies in 21 of the last 26 tournaments we’ve entered. While we can never guarantee wins or championships, we promise to give our best effort and display great sportsmanship everywhere we go.

In addition to the warm-up top, I have secured guaranteed articles at the conclusion of our spring season with the following local newspapers: Sandusky Register, Norwalk Reflector, Fremont News-Messenger and the Findlay Courier, among others to hopefully come. Your company will be publically thanked for your donation in these articles, again, providing great exposure to you.

Whether you choose to donate or not, I encourage you to follow our progress every step of the way at www.OhioBuckets.com. I started Ohio Buckets just four years ago (2012) with one team and a vision to help our area youth basketball players. Since then we have grown to six teams, all at different age levels, thanks to the phenomenal support of parents, volunteer coaches, and donors like you.

I would like to personally thank you for your consideration. I hope, with your help, we can continue to teach our kids the importance of hard work, determination, sportsmanship, and of course...winning.

Please contact me with any questions, comments or concerns you may have.

Respectfully,
