Alamo City Roller Girls 2015 Season Sponsorship Portfolio www.alamocityrollergirls.com
Greetings, Thank you for your interest in helping your local roller derby league, the Alamo City Roller Girls (ACRG). Since 2006, ACRG has worked hard to provide San Antonio the exciting sport of roller derby as members of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association and as San Antonio's premier roller derby league. You too can become part of the fastest growing sport in the world. The appeal of roller derby transgresses typical markets, and as a sponsor we will help you reach skaters, fans, volunteers, and our community partners within Texas and across the US. ACRG has been featured across San Antonio in the San Antonio Express News, the Current, the San Antonio Business Journal, and live on air with KSYM and Great Day SA. We pride ourselves on being active members of our community and appear at events such as Siclovia, Fiesta, and conventions. During each of these appearances, we increase the visibility and name recognition of our league and wonderful sponsors. We can provide your business with a customized sponsorship package to help meet your goals for recruiting new customers, developing loyalty, and aligning your brand with our community. Market analysis has shown that worldwide, skaters and fans of the sport know the businesses that support their local team, patronize their sponsors and hold them in high regard (WFTDA, 2012). We appreciate your consideration of our sponsorship portfolio and look forward to discussing an option that best suits your need. Thank you, Melanie Violet Protest Call Interim-Sponsorship Committee Chair 210.373.2045 acrgsponsorship@gmail.com

About ACRG ACRG promotes a strong, positive, athletic female image. We are family friendly and involved in community outreach and volunteerism. We have visited with organizations including Habitat for Humanity, Operation Comfort, Girls Inc. of San Antonio, and more. Your sponsorship dollars allow us to spend more time in the community teaching about roller derby and volunteering. Additionally, your support helps keep the cost of tickets to our games low, so they are accessible to all members of the community. ACRG includes two teams, Las Tejanas and Las Pistoleras. Las Tejanas are the official Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) team for ACRG. They travel to play games for WFTDA rankings. Las Pistoleras are the ACRG team that battles for victory within Texas. Your sponsorship helps support each team s practice space, game venue costs, travel to play around the state and beyond, and other operating expenses. ACRG is in the process of becoming a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. Until the league earns this designation, many of our sponsors itemize their gift as a marketing expense.
