Basketball Tournament Sponsorships Needed
For over twenty years, the 8th Grade class has sponsored the Cougar Basketball Tournament for 4th, 5th and 6th grade boys and girls. This particular tournament has grown over the years into one of the best basketball tournaments in Central Texas.
The tournament runs two weekends in late January and plays host to many teams across our area and their spectators. This is great exposure not only for our school but for the families and businesses that graciously support us!
In order to make this year's tournament a great success, the St. Louis 8th Grade class is seeking sponsors for the 2018 tournament. This is where you can help. If you or someone you know would like to become a sponsor, please complete the sponsorship form located here. Being a sponsor for this tournament is an effective way to promote your business since this tournament attracts many participants and spectators throughout Central Texas. Depending on which level of sponsorship you choose, you and/or your business's name will appear on the sponsorship banner that will be displayed during each weekend of the tournament and in the program that is distributed each weekend to the many spectators who come to enjoy the tournament.
Proceeds raised will be used to cover the end-of-the year activities for the 8th grade class and for the 8th grade class gift to the school.
