WHY SPONSOR THE SUNS?
At times, sponsorship can seem like a one-way street, with most of the sponsor's money going towards little more than signage or a logo. The Meander Valley Football Club aim to give back. In doing so we have developed a six- tiered system which aims to give potential sponsors value for money. This includes the use of our newly constructed functions box, extended social media coverage from our heavily supported Facebook page, plus a range of other attractive options to involve your brand in the club.
Most importantly, your money ensures the long-term viability of the club. Country football teams have long struggled to keep up with the rising costs of running a football club, and sponsor money is a huge part in easing the burden on our committee members whose fundraising efforts for the club take up much of their own personal life.
The Meander Valley Football Club stands for more than just a club, however; We stand for involving our community in organised sport for health and well-being purposes and that families and individuals of all cultures, religions, race and sexuality can enjoy the benefits of organised sport. We stand for nurturing a culture of ownership, responsibility and accountability in our players so that they can make good choices in their personal lives as they make their own journeys through time. We stand for excellence in all aspects of the running of our club from the committee right through to how we play the game of football. Lastly, we stand for pride; Pride in our history and how we represent and honour that history as members of this great football club.
As a sponsor, you should have great faith and confidence that your brand will not only be valued, but represented in the right way so that you should feel proud to be associated with the Meander Valley Football Club.
WHERE DOES YOUR MONEY GO?
The Meander Valley Football Club does not believe in an unaccountable sponsorship programme, which is why you can be sure that every sponsored dollar we receive is put back into the club and the local community, and is therefore quantified.
We are currently forecasting towards upgraded club rooms and change rooms, adequate oval lighting so as to facilitate night games, new interchange benches and scoreboard as well as promoting junior football, which age appropriate equipment is needed to accommodate our up and coming Suns. These improvements are much needed and long overdue as our facility has not had an upgrade since 1985 – something the Meander Valley Football Club is very passionate about changing.
As well as the aforementioned new developments in the club, the daily running of a football club is costly, relying upon donated time, money and efforts. During the season there are many costs to cover including the cleaning and maintenance of equipment, building and facilities, and uniforms. Our commitment to ensuring best practice coaching requires us to continually update our resources so that we may stay one step ahead of the competition.
Not only will these upgrades facilitate the rise of the Suns, it will also have a flow on effect to other key users of the facility, including the hugely successful Westbury Shamrocks Cricket Club, The Meander Valley Suns Netball Club, the Westbury Bowls Club, The Westbury Cubs and Scout Groups.
You can see why our sponsors are so important to us, and why we aim to give back as much as we possibly can in thanks and appreciation.
