We invite you to be a business partner with Great Starts Summer Sports Camps 2008. This is our 5th year serving the greater Colorado Springs community. Thousands of families with children ages 4-17 have benefited from our camps, which emphasize fun, fundamentals, and healthy competition. Most importantly, we believe and impart daily upon each camper that virtuous character traits like Discipline, Enthusiasm, Self-control, Integrity, Respect and Endurance (D.E.S.I.R.E.) are not just empty terms but are the path to true success, joy, and fulfillment.

Our partners receive the following benefits (limited only by our combined creativity):

1)    We put your business name and logo on the home page of our website, www.gscamps.com. We also "hotlink" to your website so        that by clicking  your logo customers go directly to your site.  Great starts will also list you on our Sponsor/Business Partner        page.  Our website gets more than 5000 unique visits per month from April-August and approximately 40,000 unique visits per        year.

2)    We feature your business name and logo in our summer brochures and fliers, distributed primarily to D20 and D38 students        during the spring.

3)    Your business name will be listed as a partner in our direct email campaigns conducted several times throughout the spring and        summer.  These campaigns target thousands of past and potential customers in the Colorado Springs and Monument area.

4)    Your business name will be listed as a partner in any direct mailing campaigns conducted in the spring and summer. These        campaigns target thousands of homes in the Colorado Springs and Monument area.

5)    We invite our partners to hand out “goodies” at registration (to over 1800 kids each summer).  Our past business partners have        given water bottles, coupons, frisbees, magazines, and T-Shirts with their logo. For an additional $2500 we will put your        business logo on our T-shirts, distributed to each camper.

6)    We invite our partners to display their banners at our locations for all seven weeks of summer camps.

In return, examples of what our partners do for Great Starts may include allowing us to set up a registration table for a day at their location, passing out postcards and/or flyers to customers, posting Great Starts fliers at their location, providing coupons to be distributed to our campers, providing gift cards to our coaches, and displaying our logo with a hotlink to our website on their website.

Additionally, our partners our welcome to contribute to the Great Starts Scholarship Fund, 100% of which goes to underprivileged kids so they may attend our camps at no or a reduced cost. Partners contributing to our scholarship fund receive special recognition on our website and a certificate of appreciation from Great Starts, indicating how many kids their contribution supported.

Great Starts would be honored to partner with you for the Summer 2008 camp season. As indicated above, we can be very creative with our partnership agreement, so please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship with you!

Sincerely;
