Game Program Update



Hello Parents and Players,
I just wanted to give you an update on where we stand in regards to the funds raised by the Game Day Program. I appreciate all of your efforts to sell ads. As of today, we still have ads coming in so if you can sell more we will still take ads. We have sold $5,205 in ads so far. This is great considering we have a smaller number of players on our teams this year.

I have some companies in mind that I would like one of you to volunteer to contact them and see if they can help NOAH football through a donation of money or food. If you would be willing to contact one of these companies, please let me know ASAP by emailing me at noahprogram@gmail.com. You can start with the internet and see if you can find their marketing person. Just Google search the company name and marketing in Tulsa and you may find the person you need to contact within the company.
Generous Corporations
Quick Trip - See if they would like to buy an ad or give a donation of sandwiches to our players on one of the away or home game nights, or sponsor us in some way.
Restuarants - See if they will donate food to our players on game nights or buy an ad.
Sonic - Let them know where we play home football games. (East of 101st & Elm Pl) They have a store near our field and we could let our families know of their support of our team and they would have some business from those attending our football games.
Applebees- We raised $2000 last year with our pancake breakfast. We just need someone to contact them and a team of 2-4 parents to help cook and coordinate the event. Shelley Roberts has all the information from last year. They have a website that you can visit to set it up and see how it works.
· Chick-fil-A - See if we can set up a Spirit Night where they donate part of their profits for one evening that is set aside for NOAH Football.
Mazzio’s - See if we can set up a Spirit Night where they donate part of their profits for one evening that is set aside for NOAH Football.
Arbys - See if we can set up a Spirit Night where they donate part of their profits for one evening that is set aside for NOAH Football.
Rib Crib - See if we can set up a Spirit Night where they donate part of their profits for one evening that is set aside for NOAH Football.
Department Stores
Walmart - I requested a donation form from the Walmart at 71st & 145th and they gave us a $50 gift card. Some Walmart locations operate differently and you must go online to apply for a donation. It won't take long. They give out their money at the first of the month so get your request in before the first so you may have a chance at more.
Academy Sports – They have a program where schools can apply for a donation to a sports program in the form of a Gift Card. Each store operates independently, so you will need to go to the store location & speak with the manager for instructions on how to apply for the gift. This gift card can then be used by our coaching staff to purchase needed equipment.
Other stores to approach about purchasing an ad or for other assistance:
Dick’s Sporting Goods
Sports Authority
Target
Radio Stations
KXOJ See if they will buy an ad or come and have a live show at our last home football game. I know they did football games last year.
KCFO
Be creative…See if you can think of other businesses to approach about supporting the NOAH Football team…either by buying an ad in the Program or by participating in some other form of assistance.

Thank you!
