Dear Sponsors,
Thanks for your interest in the “50 for 50”, a non-profit event benefitting Boys Town California.
I am now seeking SPONSORS to partner in my unique journey leading up to the big day: 50 rides on 50 different things to celebrate turning 50 years old. MILLIONS of impressions have already been generated on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, my website, and more. I am seeking not only industry sponsors, but also health and fitness companies.
WHY SPONSOR? Unique water skiing event = plenty of traditional coverage. But I’m planning on going bigger! I’ll use all my tricks of the trade from 30 years in marketing and promotions to try and extend this event to the mainstream. I will be using every avenue possible (details below):
SPONSOR LEVELS: General
TITLE Sponsor (1) – Headline Branding with All Promotions. I am looking for a strategic title sponsor to help take this event to the next level!
PARTNER Sponsor (3-5) – Prominent Placement with All Promotions. Body Glove, Radar Skis, Boat Company, CrossFit? –
SUPPORTING Sponsor – Featured Placement with Most Promotions
T-SHIRT Sponsor – Pay for144 shirts – your logo featured on sleeve.

Unconventional.
Creative Commons: I will be making many of the images generated from this event available for Free Royalty Free use under a Creative Commons 3.0 license. That means people get to use them for commercial and personal use, and that the images will have a much better chance of being seen and used for a long time.
