Gus Macker Sponsorships

Dear  Area Business Leader,         

Gus Macker 3-on-3 Basketball, America's largest outdoor basketball tournament, will be held in Olean August 14-16, 2009.  The 3-day event will be organized and will benefit both the Olean High School Sports Booster and the Olean City School District Foundation.

The First Gus Macker 3-on-3 Basketball, America's largest outdoor basketball tournament, was a huge success in Olean August 2008.  The event raised $20,000.00 that will enable both the Olean High School Sports Booster and the Olean City School District Foundation (OCSDF) to receive $10,000 each!

Some facts on Gus Macker Olean include: hometown of players -- 15% of the players were from Olean, 3% from Allegany/Portville, and 82% from elsewhere; farthest traveled player -- from Colorado Springs, CO; states of players -- Ohio, New Jersey, Michigan, North Carolina, Florida, Colorado, Pennsylvania and New York; age of players -- youngest was 8 with the oldest registered player 57 (however we had an 81 year young player on the exhibition court).

We appreciate if you would consider an event sponsorship which will allow us to raise funds to support the children who attend the Olean City School District.  As a sponsor, you will be a very visible part of the event and participation with positive publicity and recognition.  This is an opportunity for you to help support the community.

Below is information on sponsorship levels.  We are very excited to have this opportunity and hope that you will be a part of the event this year.  Please call one of us if you have any questions.

Sincerely,


John Irving, 716-397-8223
