Sponsorships

This year, based on feedback from the parent survey this past summer, the Board has refreshed our approach to corporate sponsorships. For this year:

• Parents are being encouraged to seek financial sponsorships directly. To ease in this process, please find attached a letter that can be used to connect local business with the club to arrange sponsorships.
• For any parent organized financial sponsorships, 50% of the value of the sponsorship will be attributed directly to the parent/family's mandatory fundraising commitment, up to the total value of the MFC. For clarity, sponsorship will not be used to offset registration costs.
• Businesses are offered marketing and promotional opportunities as outlined in the attached letter in return for their sponsorship. Businesses can sponsor the club financially or partner with the club by offering products and services. For clarity, club partnerships (where business provide products or services) cannot be credited against swimmers' MFC's.
• If any potential sponsor has any questions or is looking for a customized option, please have them reach out to Chair of Sponsorship at sponsorship@dartmouthcrusaders.ca .

Sponsorships are applied in the current year only and cannot be carried forward year-over-year. Any funding surplus will be used to offset in year club costs and will be considered in the budgeting process for the next year. The overall goal of this sponsorship campaign is to keep the costs of membership as reasonable as possible.As a reminder, parents and members of the club should not directly approach municipal, provincial or federal government officials seeking donations and sponsorships. We coordinate requests to all government officials through the club
