Sponsor Info:
Why do the Gem City Rollergirls need
sponsors?
The start-up costs of a roller derby league are phenomenal. The
single biggest cost to a newly forming league is practice space.
We are currently spend about $800 per month on practice
space rental. Rental costs for bouting venues are
around $1000 per bout, plus additional costs
for a beer permit at the event, additional insurance, any bands
we recruit for half-time, etc. We are requiring dues of our
players, but dues mostly go towards practice space. We hold
fundraisers monthly, but need resources to make them happen.
In addition to practice/bout costs, our league is looking at
the following additional expenses:
- Uniforms
- Web hosting costs
- Association membership fees
- Flyers, brochures, and other printed materials
- Merchandise
- Equipment
(track lighting, scoreboard software, sound equipment,
water coolers, etc)
We need sponsors to donate goods, services,
or financial backing to help us keep our league going!
Why should I sponsor the Gem City
Rollergirls? What can I get out of it?
The biggest return you will receive by investing in the Gem
City Rollergirls is promotion. Your name and logo will be
on our webpage, our uniforms, our flyers. People will
know that you are an official sponsor of the Gem City Rollergirls. In
addition to the publicity your business will receive by sponsoring
us, we will be more than happy to appear at your events to
help draw a crowd. We can arrange to hold exhibition shows
at your business (if feasible). You will be able to use us
a promotion tool. Who doesn't love girls in skirts and skates?
Do I share in any monetary profits?
No. Because the premise of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association
(WFTDA) is leagues that are skater owned and operated,
we do not allow any corporate sponsor to retain "shares"
in our league. You will not have any input on how the league
is run or collect any profits from the league. As stated
above, you will get promotion and advertisement in return
for your contribution.
I might be interested in sponsoring the league -
what can I do?
Right now our biggest need is financial backing. However,
anything you can donate would be very much appreciated. We
are currently also seeking:
- Printing & distribution services for
flyers, brochures, posters, stickers
- Venues to hold fundraisers
- Items that can be used in fundraisers
(prizes for raffles for example)
- Merchandise services
- Any other useful good or service you could
provide
If you decide you would like to make a donation,
