Fundraising-Team & Athlete Sponsorship
All Miami Rush teams are encouraged to raise funds for their particular team to cover the cost of travel, team parties, and whatever else their respective team may like to utilize the funds for in order to lower team expenses.
Successful companies seek opportunities to promote their brand awareness in the local community and nationwide. Kendall United/Kendall SC is well positioned for such partnerships. By having such sponsors for our club it also helps to promote other fundraising efforts. Through sponsorship our members, their families and associates can also enjoy discounted pricing in our sponsor's products and services. We understand that an effective relationship is based on mutual benefits and repeat partnerships for years to come.
All sponsorship contributions through Miami Rush can be tax deductible since the organization operates as a non-profit 501(c) corporation! Please confirm with your accountant or tax advisor.
If you are aware of sponsorship opportunities through your friends, acquaintances and associates, and want assistance in discussing such opportunities or making a presentation to the potential sponsor, you can reach out to Miami Rush.
The sponsorship letter can be found here.
