Greetings:
ASU Men's Lacrosse needs your support for our 2008 season, which is our 40th year. The team has a rich history having been on campus since 1968, winning league championships in 1995 and 1997. We compete against the top programs in the nation. Last season was the most successful in our history. We a young talented team, we have high expectations for 2008, but we need your help, both at our games and financially. |
 |
We are not recognized as a varsity sport and have no formal affiliation with the ASU athletic department. Because of this, over 50% our funding comes from dues paid by players, some of whose parents can’t afford to pay for their son to play lacrosse with us, and the other 50% through fundraising and generous supporters like you! It costs approximately $150,000 to operate the team for 1 year. We currently charge our players approximately $2,000 for the year and they are responsible for most of their own equipment. Our largest expense is travel. In 2008 we are traveling to Salt Lake City to play Utah and National Champs BYU. We also travel to Santa Barbara to play UCSB and San Diego to play USD. We are planning our second consecutive trip to the MCLA National Championship Tournament in May.
We understand that many individuals and businesses have contributed to or sponsored programs by providing funding, goods, and services to other ASU organizations and we hope you will consider lacrosse a worthy recipient. |

Your sponsorship can make a difference by helping provide safer travel, better equipment, and greatly easing the financial burden on students that play lacrosse at ASU, just to name a few.
Playing lacrosse at ASU is a tremendous opportunity and a large commitment for any student. Aside from financial commitment, players are typically devoting at least 20 hours a week to lacrosse. Add that to a full academic schedule and there is little time left over to maintain a job and income. Concerning opportunity, I can say from personal experience that it provides a family atmosphere between players who develop life-long friendships from being part of our team. In addition, students learn leadership skills, teamwork, and discipline.
We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss sponsorship opportunities with you and expand on what's involved in running our program. Further, we would like to invite you to see us play this spring when we make a run for a championship.
Please email me to find out how you can help.
Go Devils!
