Partners and Sponsorship
We have exciting plans for upcoming events, and are looking for individuals and corporates who would like to partner with us.
We are thinking of:
- Influencers: parents and old boys who encourage their age group peers to join our FB group, attend events together, and sign up as a paid up member of BRSC
- Donors: individuals who contribute their time, ideas, and tangible contributions (venues, expertise, catering, beverages, equipment, speakers, donations)
- Sponsors: entities that agree terms on co-hosting, funding, and supporting specific activities ( coaching programs, referee support, communications such as live streaming, annual fundraiser dinner, etc)
Last year we benefitted through support from:
- 100 members paid up
- 60-110 individuals attending per event
- Matt Pearce procuring guests and conducting interviews unpaid
- Gina Clayton working after hours unpaid to make events and the gazebo a success
- Evergreen sponsoring gazebo snacks and drinks
- Iona, Constantia Glen, and De Grendel providing wine tastings and discounted stock
This year we have benefited from:
- Video camera donation from Matt Pearce for the Prep
- Alcohol donation from Ross Calow
We are already engaging with people on these topics, and have formulated some preferences and governance to manage the process. If you would like to discuss this further, please contact me directly, or through Mike Hyne, Gina Clayton, or any other member of the committee.
To successfully organize quality events, we need to schedule and arrange well in advance. We will consider value of the contribution, it’s fit with our preferences, and aspects such as membership, connection with the school, and enhancing the Bishops brand. We welcome signs of support ahead of announced events and their planning, not cherry picking in the run up. Help us avoid disappointment by moving early.
