Hi Dustin, 

RE: REQUEST FOR SPONSORSHIP 

The Junior Hawks youth basketball program in Napanee is expanding this season. For the past two years, we have coordinated a house league program for ages 8-10 and ages 11-13 for both boys and girls in coordination with Napanee District Secondary School Athletics. Our group of volunteers oversaw the promotion of the program, handled the registration and looked after operations including purchase of balls, referee whistles and pinneys, and recruitment of coaches. We also provided step-by-step lesson plans for the coaches: each week consisted of a 20-minute practice with skills and drills followed by a 40-minute game. NDSS Athletics provided the referees and coaching assistance through players on their varsity teams. The feedback was very positive: we increased from 150 athletes in the first year to 190 athletes in 2023-2024; and we were able to add an all girls’ division at the age 11-13 level in our second year. 

Beginning in the 2024-2025 season, our expansion will include rep teams that will compete at a higher level against teams throughout the province. Thus, we have formed the Greater Napanee Basketball Association to become a more formal organization. With this expansion our operating costs have increased as we will have additional expenses such as: better quality balls, jerseys, affiliation fees, referee fees, league fees, tournament fees and weekend facility use. The addition of a website and on-line registration system will also improve the management of both the house league and the rep program. 

As a business that has provided support to community activities and events in the past, we are respectfully submitting a request for sponsorship for the Greater Napanee Basketball Association. Any assistance that you can provide would be very much appreciated. 

Thank you, 

Scott Mills
