Be a Tournament Sponsor
There are many ways to assist our fundraising efforts for our annual Charity Tournament, in support of the Douglas Park Community School. Please contact Kristina if you or your company would like to help in one of these ways:
1. Monetary donation - all funds donated to the school (tax receipts available)
2. Donate a prize - we sell tickets throughout the tournament for our prize draws - these raffles are a huge part of our fundraising, and sponsor signage is abundant
3. Provide goods & services - water and snacks, or branded items such as water bottles or other gear for player and/or spectators - we can add your items to our player registration bags
4. Vendor table - your business may set up a table at the court for a minimum donation - you can display product info, interact with the community, or sell product - limited spaces available
5. Discount coupons/samples - direct traffic to your business by providing vouchers or samples for your business to players, volunteers and spectators. Materials can be placed in all player registration bags.
