1 2015 Event Sponsorship Proposal FLITE vs. the Harlem Wizards Friday, March 20 and Saturday, March 21, 2015 at 7:00 PM Location: Conestoga High School Gym, Berwyn, PA The Foundation for Learning In Tredyffrin/Easttown (FLITE) has invited the Harlem Wizards to return to play a team of T/E teachers, administrators and students. This overwhelmingly popular basketball event has sold out games in 2012, 2013 and 2014 with the Conestoga High School gym filled to its capacity of 1,800. This is the only community event that brings together students and parents from every school in T/E for a fun night with our teachers and administrators. It is truly a unique opportunity to showcase your business as a supporter of education in our District. This exciting community event raises money to support FLITE-funded programs in our School District. What Is FLITE? FLITE is an all-volunteer non-profit foundation that helps to ensure that all students in Tredyffrin/Easttown Schools, especially those who face barriers to their educational success, have the opportunities, support, and academic tools they need to succeed in school. FLITE helps students, ages preschool through high school, by funding educational programs. The Foundation relies on the T/E School District staff to identify students who can benefit from additional support and the programs that can help them succeed. FLITE is supported by donations from local community members, businesses and foundations. FLITE Supports and Funds Educational Programs Including: Early Childhood Education Programs for Students Needing: After School Homework Program Summer reading books Summer Enrichment Computers College Readiness Program Graphing calculators Musical instrument rentals For more information about FLITE, visit: About The Harlem Wizards At the Wizards game, fans see amazing basketball talent combined with hilarious comedy. The athleticism, tricks, fancy team work and ball-handling wizardry, plus wild dunks not even seen in NBA games, engages and wows the most avid hoops fans. The comedy is for everybody. The Wizards look to push the envelope on fun, combining pre-planned comedic acts with spontaneous humor that fans of all ages will find laugh out loud funny. The halftime show with hundreds of kids on the court and the postgame interaction with the Wizard players who stay until every autograph is signed is a crowd favorite. Whereas an NBA team's success is measured in wins and losses, the Wizards' victories lie in the millions of smiles they are responsible for and the millions of dollars raised for charitable organizations across the world. Since 1962, the Wizards have been making history with the happiness, fun, goodwill and excitement they bring.
