Dear Potential Sponsor,
The Bartlett Raiders Athletic Association, Inc. is a local non-profit youth football and cheerleading organization established in 1973 to provide a safe, fun and supervised environment for local children (grades K-8th) to learn and cheer for the game of football and is the longest standing member of The Bill George Youth Football League along with 14 surrounding communities. To help support the growth of our program, the Bartlett Raiders are looking for sponsorship donations from local businesses and individuals. Our season extends from July through December, and includes football games, cheerleading competitions, and special events like Homecoming, a Pep Rally, and a Pool Party. Many of the children in our program go on to play football and cheer in the local High Schools and Colleges. With over 98% of our members being residents of Bartlett and the immediate bordering towns make us truly Bartlett’s youth football program for the last three decades. The program is funded primarily through the registration fees paid by participants, which is why we ask for, and greatly appreciate sponsorship donations.
The Raiders program is committed to being a program “for the kids” in our communities! The Raiders are a member of the Bartlett Chamber of Commerce, and participate in a number of community events including the Independence Day Parade, Lions Club Independence Day Festival, the National Night Out, and an annual charity game and clinic for The Bartlett Learning Center (BLC) and their residents. The BLC is a special education facility for students from 3 to 21 years of age which The Raiders have been proud to contribute in any way possible to their program.
The sponsorship donation levels are as follows:
White $100 Sponsorship Website listing on our Sponsor pages
Black $200 Sponsorship Plaque if desired, Website listing on our Sponsor pages plus 1/8 page coupon online
Silver $350 Sponsorship Plaque if desired, Website listing on our Sponsor pages and sponsor banner plus two 1/8 page coupons or one ¼ page coupon online

Platinum $1000 and up - Sponsorship Plaque if desired, Website listing on our Sponsor pages and sponsor banner four 1/8 page coupons or two ¼ page coupons or one ½ page coupon online
In 2006, the Raiders launched a new website at www.bartlettraiders.org, and received a tremendous response, in July 2007 we added a downloadable coupon page which as of Nov. 1st had been downloaded over 1000 times, which will in 2008; provide our sponsors with the potential for significant local advertising exposure. During the months of Aug – Oct which is the busiest time of the year, the Raiders website averaged about 500 visits per day, and almost 1300 page views per day! This is in addition to the fact that we send out weekly newsletters via e-mail as well as any important updates regarding practice, games and competitions directly to our members in an effort to maximize communications. We will provide a complete listing of our website activity which will give a complete view as to our membership traffic. In addition to our membership traffic all of BGYFL access our website through direct links. The Raiders will be happy to talk to any sponsor who would like to work with us to provide special offers or promotions to the organization.
We are continuing our referral program this year. If a member brings in a new sponsor to the program, or renews a sponsor they personally brought into the program last year, the member gets a rebate and credit towards their registration fee. A $100 sponsor gets the Raider parent a $25 rebate, $200 gets a $50 rebate, $350 gets a $75 rebate, $550 gets a $100 rebate and $1,000 gets a $200 rebate. Please utilize the attached form to indicate your desired sponsorship type. Should you have any questions, please feel free to call the Raider’s at (630) 674-8999. Again, any sponsorship is sincerely appreciated, as we strive to make the Raiders the best youth football and cheerleading organization for the kids in our community.
Thank you,
The Sponsorship Committee
