CHAMP Sponsors

Corporate and Individual Sponsorship Opportunities:

The mission of CHAMP cannot be accomplished without the financial support of our community. Given CHAMP’s goal of positively impacting all 14,000 student-athletes and over 2000 youth coaches every year the potential impact on our community of every sponsorship dollar given through in-kind or financial donation is vast. Consequently CHAMP makes a variety of individual and corporate sponsorship opportunities available:

Corporate sponsor for CHAMP (event, in-kind, and co-promotional)
Team award sponsors (sponsor the gear given to a CHAMP elite team)
Coach award/training session sponsors (to recognize coaches of character and to underwrite training sessions to encourage more coaches to participate)
Apparel sponsors (Given as recognition or for promotional purposes)
Event sponsors (to underwrite the Breakfast of CHAMPions)
Scholarship sponsors (to help underwrite the cost of the Heart of a CHAMPion Senior Scholarship)

Foundation/Grant Opportunities:

CHAMP also believes in building for the future. As Keli McGregor stated at our first Breakfast of CHAMPions… “If they’re having a meeting like this twenty years from now, you will have left a legacy that made an enormous difference, in the city of Fort Collins, and for you leaders who stepped up, you will have met your goal. Twenty years from now, is the goal of today. Thirty years from now is the goal of today. It’s not tomorrow, it’s not how much money you raise today, it’s the legacy that all of you leave in this great community twenty or thirty years from now.” CHAMP understands that sustaining CHAMP for years to come will require an investment greater than raising this year’s operating expenses. To meet this long-term objective CHAMP will work over a five year time horizon to build an endowment that will ensure long-term sustainability of the CHAMP mission. This will require that CHAMP seek long-term support and grant opportunities from both local and national sponsors and foundations that share the same passion for building character in our youth and community through athletics.
