Dear Business Owners,
Welcome to the New England Intensity 2010 season!
This year we return to the field as T2 division champion contenders in the IWFL, a 501(c)(6) non-profit, full-tackle women's football league focused on creating a positive, safe and fun environment for the women who play the game and fans that come out to watch them.
Many organizations are very excited about the future of women's tackle football because it has proven to be the fastest growing segment in women's sports. ABC World News with Charles Gibson did a segment on the Intensity and women's tackle football last Spring to educate its 8 Million viewers on who we are. The IWFL was founded in 2000 by a group of women dedicated to making the sport a household name. The IWFL currently has over 1000 women playing the sport for 35 teams across North America from Southern California to Montreal and Oregon to Florida with consistent expansion into new markets. The New England Intensity has been in existence since 2004 and serves as a lcoal role model having been asked to do talks at regional schools and hospitals, have been covered in local and regional papers, as well as asked to do guest appearances on radio shows and podcasts.
Intensity is a self-funded team and must raise $30,000 to play each year. This enormous cost includes fees for the stadium, practice field usage, referees, coaches, trainers, game day announcers, travel, transportation, uniforms, practice equipment and gear as well as the IWFL league fees which cover insurances. Most of the financial burden is borne by the players as we look for sponsors that are looking to get into this fastest growing segment in women's sports.
So this is where we can create a mutually beneficial relationship. Research proves that sponsorships allow your company to get closer to your customers by supporting an event/cause they care passionately about. Through our sponsorship programs, we can help your organization capture the attention and loyalty of your target markets in exchange for helping us provide New England's female athletes with a safe environment to play football. While working with our business partners we have created proven, customizable sponsorship packages that are guaranteed to deliver a solid return on investment for your marketing dollars. And last year, our sponsors were recognized through television coverage. Not too shabby!
As we prepare our team for competition in the IWFL, I am hoping you will share in the passion and excitement that we are experiencing and choose to sponsor our team. Don't miss the opportunity to be an exclusive sponsor. You can choose to select from one of the many levels of support or customize your own. Please see our sponsorship guidelines. Thank you in advance for your kind thoughts and I look forward to seeing you at an upcoming Intensity game.
Sincerely,
Tricia Donovan, Owner
