Our goal is to provide the best possible lacrosse experience for all of our lacrosse families.  In order to continue offering our first-class program and keep registration fees as low as possible, our sponsorship program is essential to our success. The centerpiece of our sponsorship program is the SYC Lacrosse Yearbook.  The Yearbook is distributed to all lacrosse families and is full of team pictures and rosters, action shots, and candid photos of our players participating in lacrosse activities.  The Yearbook also contains advertisements from our sponsors. Please ask your team coach or the parent of a returning player if you would like to see a copy of last year’s yearbook.

Sponsors buy ads ranging from a full page ($220) to a business card size ($60).  We also have special sponsorship programs (ranging from $300 to $500), which involve full page ads, listings on the SYC Lacrosse web pages, and team plaques for businesses.  Lacrosse families sell the benefits of these advertisements to potential sponsors in our area.  Not only do businesses get excellent exposure, they also get tax deductions!  Click here for a list of past sponsors. 

Each team’s fundraising goal is $2,000.  Teams can get creative to raise money to meet their goal.  For example, in addition to selling ads, teams have held car washes, sold coupon books, distributed flyers for sponsors, set up restaurant nights, etc.  In addition, families are welcome to purchase their own space in the yearbook if they wish to place a special note for their individual players, coaches, or team.  As an added incentive for our players and their families, for the 2010 season we plan to offer the following rewards to teams that reach fundraising goals:

• SYC Lacrosse jackets, embroidered with names and numbers, for teams that raise at least $2,000; or
• A Team Paintball Party, for teams that raise at least $2,000; or
• SYC Lacrosse T Shirts for teams that raise at least $1,000.

The deadline for submitting artwork for the next Yearbook is June 1, 2010.  A big thank you to our graphic design artist, Pat Walsh, for his continued support of SYC lacrosse.  If you have any questions, suggestions, or would like to submit a sponsorship, please contact Marty Brennan or Tom Harlow.
