Sponsors
The University of South Florida Ice Bulls club hockey team is currently seeking sponsorships for their 2009-10 season.
USF is a well-known and valued member of the Tampa Bay community and your association with the Ice Bulls will project a positive image to the public and increase your visibility in the area. Your business will be associated with a team which has a long history of success both on and off the ice.
The Ice Bulls are a Division III team in the American Collegiate Hockey Association and have a strong winning tradition. The team has been in existence for 21 years. They initially played in the now defunct College Hockey South and joined the ACHA in 2003. Between 1998 and 2004, the Ice Bulls won the College Hockey South championship four times. The team finished the 2008-2009 season ranked 11th in the southeast division of ACHA. Narrowly missing the regional tournament.
The Ice Bulls maintain their winning attitudes off the ice by involving themselves in the community. We believe that it is important to extend ourselves beyond merely playing hockey and our players have logged over 1,000 hours of community service in past seasons, contributing to organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Metropolitan Ministries, John Knox Village, Vincent Lecavalier Foundation, St. Jude’s Hospital, Toys for Tots and Susan G. Komen. Players have also donated time to work with local youth hockey teams.
Last year, the team raised $4,000 for Madison Goss, a four-year-old girl in Atlanta suffering from a rare form of cancer, as well as other pediatric cancer-related charities through their sponsorship of the Madison Goss and Friends Pediatric Cancer Tournament. The team will host the third annual tournament Jan. 15-17, 2010 in Ellenton, Florida.
As a sponsor of the Ice Bulls, you will generate valuable exposure for your business or organization. The Ice Bulls continually bring large crowds to their games. This season, all home games will be played at the Ice Sports Forum in Brandon.
In addition to exposure at the tournament, presenting sponsors will benefit from presence on our web site, which had over 30,000 hits last season. Finally, the Ice Bulls are a non-profit 501c(3) organization and all donations are fully tax-deductible.
Below, you will find sponsorship levels and the associated benefits. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!
