The Nashville Grizzlies RFC
NEEDS YOU!
Rugby may not require (or allow) the use of a lot of fancy pads, racquets, bats or clubs but there are some basics we do need like jerseys, balls, goal post pads; and then there are fees to rent the fields and to hire the Sir (referee) when we play a home match. Since most of the IGRAB rugby football clubs >link< are in other major cities, even with carpooling and sharing rooms, travel to away matches is expensive too.
Our players and auxiliaries have also shown a tremendous commitment on and off the pitch (field) working our fundraisers and donating needed supplies and equipment. But as we grow and play matches across the country (with Atlanta, Chicago, Charlotte, Minneapolis, Raleigh, Phoenix and Madison WI so far!) and in Dublin, Ireland for the 2008 Bingham Cup, WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
Sponsoring the Grizzlies is easy and rewarding.
Grizzlies Sponsorships are a very effective form of advertising since we do all we can to get your name out to our fans and supporters, and include your logo on posters, the web and every other place we think of during the year.
Our sponsors also become part of the family and you have never been part of a family this diverse or this much fun.
During the season we practice two to three times each week and usually have a social hour or two during the week. Our fundraisers are always fun and we volunteer as a group for community events like the Nashville CARES AIDS Walk, Artrageous and others. We have a healthy hometown fan base, and of course we take this show on the road for away matches, where we will hopefully, proudly be sporting your logo in major cities across the country.
At every event we wear our Grizzlies shirts, take along banners and have other opportunities to brag on our sponsors.
