WHY HCRG WILL BE A HIT FOR YOU:
- Your support is appreciated. Our sponsorship levels are accessible to individuals and small businesses. Receive exposure on our Web Site, bout programs, media materials, and announcer mentions at our bouts and events.
- Reach a diverse demographic. An average HCRG bout in Hamilton brings in up to 700 spectators. Fans are made up of different backgrounds, lifestyles, and age groups. Reach sports fans, punk rockers, and soccer moms all under one roof! Plus, the reasonable ticket prices and the fun kid activities we include at every bout means it’s a very family-friendly event.
- Grab more attention. HCRG is regularly featured in both local print, broadcast, and online media. We work hard to get the word out about our league and you benefit from the additional exposure.
- Be part of the phenomenon. Flat track roller derby is the fastest growing sport in North America. HCRG was the second international member of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), the governing body which sets the standards for the sport’s rules, seasons, and safety. As of 2012, there are 130 WFTDA member leagues, with another 59 leagues in the WFTDA Apprentice program.
- Feel good! Align your business with a strong brand. HCRG is an all female, not-for-profit, skater-operated league that promotes athleticism, teamwork, and the independent spirit of women.
WHY SHOULD YOU HIT US UP?
While we are an awesome, phenomenally talented group of skaters and volunteers, the Hammer City Roller Girls cannot do it all alone. It takes a lot out of us to set up bouts and run a league. Bout production expenses include venue rental, insurance, sound system, medical personnel, lighting, equipment rental, refreshments, and beverages. And league costs run the gamut from uniforms to practice venue rental fees, coaching expenses, merchandise, skating insurance, advertising, and print materials, to name but a few.
