BKbassblaster Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Any of you guys know any big companies out there that would be glad to sponsor a HS fishing team? Thanks, BK Quote
jbrazWI Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Hi BK, I started a high school bass fishing team last year and your conumdrum has been where I have spent the majority of time. I will tell you the "big" companies I have talked to/emailed were not real cooperative. I have never before solicited for a sponsorship, but found out a couple of things: 1. Don't hesitate to ask local businesses that enjoy the outdoors, but are unrelated to fishing. They have been the reason we still have a bass team. 2. If you have any sportsman's clubs in your area, hit them up...they are usually looking for places to help out the youth. Our local club earmarks $300 each year for us...I have heard of other clubs giving $500 or more. 3. Lure companies would be great, but if you get enough local money, you can purchase lures/tackle for the youth with that money. 4. Pradco, St. Croix, Lew's, and Pure fishing would be four I would recommend you get a hold of. They are not going to give away free things, but you might end up getting a decent percentage off their goods. Feel free to message me if you have any more questions...I don't hop on this site more than once every two weeks so be patient with me! jason Quote
