In kicking off the sponsorship drive, chair Jola reminded us that the Duck Dash is the only fundraiser our club does.

 

The Duck Dash proceeds go to support our various project including the Stillaguamish Senior Center, Boys and Girls Club, Cocoon House, and many other non-profits in the community, such as the playground and splash pads at Haller Park, as well as our international water project. 

 

Funds raised through sponsorships go to pay for all the expenses associated with the Duck Dash so all the proceeds from ticket sales can go to community organizations and projects.

 

The club set a goal in 2015 that we would attempt to increase sponsorships and ticket sales 10% each year.  Last year we fell short by $9k.

 

This year Duck Dash Chair Bob Campbell and his committee has set the goal of $100,000 in sponsorships, $20k more than we have ever collected in sponsorships.  We will be working in teams to collect sponsorships.  Each team should collect $7,500 in sponsorships.

 

Coupon sponsors must offer something of value.  Let Jola know right away if you sell a coupon sponsorship.  She has to keep track of them.  We can only take one platinum sponsor ($10k).

 

Have the sponsor or member fill out the sponsorship form.  Make sure you get the exact spelling of the business if their name will appear on a plaque, t-shirt, or banner.  Team captains have forms and forms will be posted on Club Runner.

 

April 12^th is the deadline for submitting sponsorships.

 

The team with the most sponsors, most new sponsors, most upsales will win prizes.
