Hello North Melbourne BigFooty family.
It's that time yet again.
For the last two years since taking over these duties from the hall of famer kangalover, we have successfully sponsored two players each year, and multiple BigFooty North board regulars who pledged got some great rewards, such as training with the team, attending the Syd Barker, signed guernseys, etc!
Decision to make
In 2017 we have a decision to make, since the price to sponsor players has gone up (and not insignificantly, either).
Continuing our sponsorship of Majak Daw will cost us $2,750, and adding a second player will cost us $2,350 (or $1,750 for a rookie/first year player).
Last year it cost us $3,980 to sponsor two players, and we just hit this figure near the end of the deadline. This year to sponsor two players it's going to cost us either $5,100 or $4,500 depending on which way we choose to go, and as such it's a bigger target for us to hit.
I need your thoughts on how we should proceed; do we aim for two players like we've done annually for a long time, or do we scale it back to one player?
Complicating this issue, we cannot choose to sponsor one player now and then add in a second player at a later date if we're smashing our fundraising pledge target; we need to lock in our player sponsorships in the coming weeks.
Pledges and Benefits
Without further ado, I am now calling for pledges for the 2017 Player Sponsorships! Simply respond to this thread with how much you'd like to pledge (preferably in increments of $50) to register your interest - most of you have been doing this for years so you know what's involved!
Pledges will be due to be paid to me by 30 March 2017.
Here are the details for this year's program:
PER PLAYER SPONSORED:
But that's not all! In previous years, every player sponsor who contributed $100 or more got a Premium Platinum BigFooty membership for 1 year, and a cool and sexy badge identifying them as a player sponsor! If you contribute $50, you'll get a Premium Gold BigFooty membership (and the badge)
What I need from you is to reply to this thread with;
a) Your pledges/confirmations of participation for 2017; and
b) Your suggestion on whether we should sponsor just one player (Majak Daw) or aim to hit the goal for two players, noting that if we go for two players, we'll need more sponsors/bigger pledges than in previous years.
Thanks all!
