Youth Tackle Sponsorship Opportunities

Good morning, As we prepare for the 5th Annual Bob Scheurer Memorial Winter Classic on December 15th, and the broader Tackle season this Spring, we wanted to make an ask of all Mudturtles. The Youth Tackle program does everything it can to run at the lowest cost possible to our players. We want to expand opportunities for the kids in our area, and sometimes that means operating at a loss. Sponsorships are a big help to the organization in managing our operating costs while keeping season dues low. The Youth Tackle program as a whole is always seeking sponsorships, and has the ability to accept sponsorship funding through a non-profit corporation account, which makes any sponsorship a tax deductible donation. If anyone within the club owns a business, or knows someone with a business, that would be interested in becoming a sponsor of the Youth Tackle program, please have them reach out to John McElroy, Youth Tackle Director, at elroy65@msn.com Thank you all for your time, consideration, and willingness to help us continue to grow our Youth Tackle program.
