How one Optimist Club attracts sponsors

Your business can sponsor Optimist Club activities.  By being a sponsor, your business will gain exposure and allow the Optimist Club to bring a needed service, product, or event to your community.

The Optimist Club of Lakeside, California is currently seeking sponsors for their 2010 Bulls Only Rodeo.  Take a look at their sponsor prospectus. Please give them a call if your business might benefit from being associated with this project. 

If you are another Optimist Club looking for ideas, the prospectus is an example* of one way to gain corporate sponsorship for your events.  Use your imagination and knowledge of your community to make it work for you.  Good luck! 

*This Optimist Club claims they are a 501c3 organization.  Optimist Clubs are automatically organized as 501c4 organizations under the IRS code.  Please check with Optimist International to be certain your club has completed the extra steps for becoming a 501c3 if you need that status to accept charitable donations.  Events like a rodeo would most likely attract sponsors that are advertisers and as such would not need or request the charitable deduction.
