GSWP 66 – GSWP Corporate Sponsorship Request

Dear Sir / Madam

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks for any contributions in the form of sponsorship and / or donations that your company may be able to make for and on behalf of your good will to the Sport. As a Provincial Sporting Body, we are not adverse to, as a token of our appreciation, to supply you with a blazer pin, a framed letter of thanks, a thank you on our awards function, placing your logo on the full page advert we will take out in the Multi Age Group National Tournament brochure to thank all sponsors.

Gauteng has 16 teams who take part in the National South African Schools Inter Provincial Water Polo Championships from 6 – 10 December 2008 in East London and Gauteng has, in addition, been selected to host the 2009 National Championships should you want to include your sponsorship as a planned budget item.

I would appreciate any of the following to increase the enjoyment of the experience of the 247 strong complement of Gauteng Staff and players or to lessen the financial burden of around R6000 per person that the parents have to fork out for the tour for their sons or daughters. Our needs are 247 units of any or a number of the items which follow:

Kit Bags, towels, water bottles, T-shirts, caps, sweaters, goodie bags, corporate gifts etc. Vouchers and prizes are an alternative as well as the donation of new or second hand catering equipment as we prepare all our meals for the players in buffet style on site and need to procure said.

16 Umbrellas with a large plastic water / cool drink dispenser would also come in extremely handy as we make up energy drinks for each team at their venue. A lightweight Marquee style Gazebo which would function as the main GSWP area is also required. All of the above may carry your branding.

We would also welcome some alleviation of the 60K sponsorship we have to raise for players who come from rural communities or underprivileged homes and cannot afford the tour whatsoever.

Yours in polo
