Dear Parents and Players,
As most of you are already aware, we are in the process of putting together the 2012 NOAH Football Game Day Book. This program will be a great asset in solidifying the identity of the NOAH Jaguar Football Team…plus it has the potential to raise significant funds for use toward team expenses. Remember…this is our biggest fundraiser of the year. The more ads we sell for the program, the more funds we raise for the team. Time is short for this endeavor, so we urge each of you to get on board & help us sell ads.
So how are you doing in selling ads? I have already contacted most of the people that I sold ads to last year and I have only received one “no”! This week, I plan to follow up with a second phone call to those who have not yet replied, plus I am always on the lookout for new prospects to contact about becoming NOAH sponsors with an ad in the program.
In order to help make it easier for you to sell ads, we have prepared the letter below for you to forward on to your friends, acquaintances & business contacts. This email/letter has two forms attached to aid our advertisers in choosing the size of ad they wish to purchase & for providing the necessary information for us to include their ad in the program. You will simply forward this email to potential advertisers, deleting this introductory message (Black text) before you send.
We encourage you to make a list of potential advertisers from people you already know. Send the email/letter to your doctor, dentist, insurance agent, people in your church who are business owners/managers, places of business that you patronize, etc. Many of these folks already have a budget set aside for advertising. This gives them an opportunity to market their business, while helping out a great program for our youth. For best results, follow up your email with a phone call the next day. That personal contact is often the stimulus to a positive response -- the sale of an ad.
If each family connected to the program sets a goal to sell one to three pages of ads, we can match last year’s success...& even exceed it! The time to sell is very short. Please send the letter below to as many friends, relatives and businesses that you can.
God gave His favor to this project last year. Let’s pray for His help again this year…and go sell ads!
Thanks,
Tammy Dudley

Please be a booster of the NOAH Jaguar football team! NOAH stands for Northeastern Oklahoma Association of Homeschools.
The NOAH Jaguar Football Program continues to grow in reputation and achievement. Last year the Jaguars won their fourth consecutive homeschool national championship (MaxPreps and National Private School Athletic Association recognized NOAH as the best homeschool football team in the nation). The players and coaches are anticipating another great season in 2012 with The Jaguars will play games against 3A semi-finalists Metro Christian Academy, Verdigris, Tulsa Memorial High, Hennessey High, Oklahoma Christian School in Edmund, Watonga High,Springfield Lighthouse Academy, Dallas Blue Angels HSAA and Union JV.
We need your help to complete our football program. The NOAH Jaguar football teams represent the homeschool community for all of Northeastern Oklahoma. There are an estimated 33,000 homeschooled students in Oklahoma with over half of those in Northeastern Oklahoma.
Your ad will reach many families that will see & appreciate your contribution to the NOAH organization. Ads can also be placed by family & friends simply to support the team or individual players. Depending on page size and color, ads are $25-500 and Corporate Sponsorships with additional benefits are also available for $350 for one color and $500 for full color (details on the Ad Layout attachment). We hope you will want to show your support by advertising in the football program that will be available to fans during home Varsity and Junior High games.
The proceeds from program sales assist the team with travel, meals, camps, quality equipment, and other needs that arise throughout the season.
If you would like to be included in the 2012 football program, please use the attached form to make sure we have all the pertinent information. Include your artwork and/or logos that you would like in your ad. Ads will be formatted either with supplied artwork or can be laid out with football related clip art if you prefer. (If you have questions, please contact our game program coordinators, Wayne & Tammy Dudley, at noahprogram@gmail.com or 918-294-8253).
Our deadline for placing ads in this year’s program is Friday, August 15th.
