Advertising Sponsorship Letter
Click below for the Calgary Northstars request for advertising sponsorship letter, that plays may use to try and secure advertisements.
Introduction: Each year the Calgary Northstars Hockey Association publishes a full colour
yearbook. It acts as a keepsake for the players, coaches and managers. It is also a major
fundraiser for both the Association and individual players. Each player must sell a share of
advertising to ensure the continued success of the book. It will be available for distribution at the
end of the season. Each year we distribute approximately 800 Yearbooks around the city of
Calgary through players and sponsors.
Yearbook Content: The book will contain items such as: * Team photos * Individual player
photos and player profiles * Award winners from year previous * Editorial content, articles and
hockey material * Advertisements
Player Commitment: • All players/families must raise a minimum 0f $500 (+$25 GST) in
sponsorship. This $525 (GST included) per player advertising revenue will be allocated to the
Calgary Northstars Hockey Association to offset operating costs. • Any sponsorship money
raised over and above the mandatory minimum $525 then splits 70% percent of that additional
amount (less the GST) received back as a player credit towards their fees and 30% towards our
Northstars Cares and scholarship programs.
