2019 Sporting Clays Sponsor Acquisition Program
The purpose of this program is to establish partnerships with organizations that will contribute to CWA’s charitable conservation fundraising efforts and gain a lasting, mutually beneficial relationship through advertising at our Sporting Clays Events and on our web site, this year and in future years. The Sporting Clays Sponsor Program identifies the exchange conditions at each sponsorship level.

Anyone is encouraged to participate in this incentive program to help CWA build a base of sponsor organizations. If you are not a CWA member and wish to participate, you will be rewarded with a CWA annual membership. You don't have to shoot at the event to participate in this program. We will be offering tickets to attend the luncheon and after shoot activities, once we determine what the cost of the per seat luncheon is.  The rewards for your efforts are enumerated below. The sponsor forms must be in a week before the shoot so we can do the logistics of setting up the course. Additional contributions up until the day of the event will count toward your aggregate total. Donations of items with recognizable value will be considered toward a Sponsor’s Level. (Don’t refuse any car or gun donations!) This program ends the day of the Sporting Clays Shoot.

When you have approached a potential sponsor, please register them with an email to ctwaterfowlers@gmail.com and the sponsor will go on a list with your name. Sponsors can buy standard sponsorship levels on the CWA web site. When you turn in a Sponsor Information Form, the value of the sponsorship will be recorded and count toward your total at the end of the program. Keep a copy for yourself and email a copy of the completed Sponsor Information Form to the above email address or mail a paper copy of the Sponsor Information Form to:

CWA
36-1 Becket Hill Road
Lyme, CT  06371
You can snap a picture of the form and text it to 860-663-8017.
If you secure a sponsor, be sure to get them a CWA window sticker for their business. Contact a board members for stickers.

It's very important to get sponsor commitment early. The early contributions will allow us to upgrade the quality of the event for the participants so everyone will enjoy the event even more! Auction and raffle items are great, but we can't upgrade the breakfast and luncheon with funds we don't yet have. So please make every effort to obtain sponsors early in the time frame leading up to September because it will make the event more enjoyable FOR YOU!

Have fun with the program and win a shotgun you might not otherwise buy for yourself! After you choose your rewards we will hold a special meeting to award you the prize you selected.

Two one-time Sponsor opportunities.
First member to get it done gets the credit!
Find a sponsor to provide shooter bags and you have a Gold Sponsor. 100 logo imprinted cotton bags would cost CWA between $150 and $250. Lets find a sponsor to provide the bags and they get one year of advertising on the CWA web site and they can display one yard sign at the shoot. The sponsor can even stuff their bag! First CWA member to get a company to commit gets the credit. Here's an easy way to pick up a Tanglefree Floating Gun Case!
 The back of the scorecard was sold to John Wills Painting in Killingworth. Thanks Jackie! Another Silver Sponsor.
Below are some documents to use while obtaining sponsors. Download and use at will.
If you want to make your own promotional materials, feel free to let CWA know how we can help.
