We are looking for community sponsors to support our upcoming Blaine Boys & Girls Youth Traveling Basketball Tournaments.  Our Boys Tournament is Jan 12th and 13th and our Girls Tournament is Feb 16th and 17th.  Both will be held at multiple Blaine Area Schools/Facilities.

We have each 1st place team stand under the banners for pictures to give the banner (and your sponsorship) maximum exposure. Here is an example picture of one of the 1st place teams from last year:

Here is a closeup of the banner. You'll note the Platinum sponsors are on the left side (large logo), Gold sponsors are in the center (medium logos), and Silver sponsors are on the right side (small logos).

Our season is September through March. Below are our website stats from last season. As a sponsor, your business will get great exposure from our website!

Platinum and Gold sponsors have the unique opportunity to promote their business directly to our 400+ basketball families. We send an email at the beginning of our season (September) and at the end of the season (March). This is an email we send exclusively to promote our sponsors. You get to promote anything you want in these emails. Platinum sponsors get to take advantage of both email opportunities and Gold sponsors can choose one email opportunity.

Our target this year is to get 3-4 Platinum sponsors, 6-8 Gold sponsors, and 12+ Silver sponsors!

As a sponsor, you are providing so much more than just support of our tournament. Your donation also helps us maintain our high-quality basketball programs at a reasonable cost to our families. As a small nonprofit organization, every dollar helps so we truly appreciate your support!

Blaine Youth Basketball is a 501c3 nonprofit organization in the state of Minnesota.  Your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. We will provide you with a tax donation receipt upon receiving your sponsorship.
