The Event Itinerary
The Opportunity
This is to invite you to become a supporter of the 8th Annual KidSport Charity Golf Classic. The Classic is an annual signature event for KidSport in Ontario. The KidSport Charity Golf Classic is designed to be a premiere fundraising golf tournament and charity auction. Our goal in 2013 is to raise $100,000.00 in support of KidSport. Sponsorship of this event offers the opportunity to: • Develop an association with an important cause and respected organization; • Host key clients in a fun and relaxed setting; • Network with leaders in the business community and sport industry; • Showcase your product/brand to a desirable target audience; • Enhance your community investment program. This package outlines numerous levels of sponsorship and related benefits. (Importantly, it can be further customized to meet your specific marketing needs.) We offer four key ways for corporations to get involved: sponsorship, gifts-in-kind, corporate foursomes, and donations.
Marketing Strategy
This year, we will implement an effective marketing and public relations program to generate awareness and interest in the “Classic”.
We will create a targeted marketing program which includes the following tactics:
•Pre and post tournament online newsletter feature
•Official web page on the KidSport site dedicated to the tournament
•Social media presence to create buzz
•Email campaign to our extensive database of supporters and stakeholders
•Media alert and press release around the tournament
•Sponsor directed communications and promotions (e.g. company/employee newsletters, etc.)

KidSport is…
About Kids… Success is measured by the number of children who have been
helped as a result of KidSport’s initiatives.
About Fun… The primary goal of children’s sport programming is that each
child should have so much fun that they can’t wait to play again next season!
About the Future… All kids should be given the opportunity to develop healthy lifestyles,
no matter the financial, physical or language barriers that may exist! Staying physically active helps encourage children to maintain healthy habits throughout their whole lives. The challenges that come with playing sports also teach children valuable life lessons and skills including leadership, practice, hard work, dedication and self confidence.
KidSport’s Impact
Since 1993, over half a million under resourced Canadian kids have been provided with the means to pursue their passion in sport
In 2012, over 50,000 kids who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to play were assisted
Every child that KidSport funds is another participant in a local sport club/program
The program continues to grow in Ontario
In 2012, over 2,600 Ontario kids received grants totalling more than $500,000
Compared to just over 1,600 kids helped in 2009, totalling just over $200,000
Additionally, over 5,000 kids are introduced to local sport opportunities and KS each year
Long term athlete development (LTAD) – making it a reality for all kids in the province
