2014/15 Gellibrand CC Sponsorship Proposal

Gellibrand Cricket Club

SPONSORSHIP PROPOSAL

LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT

Thank you for taking the time to consider this proposal to support the Gellibrand Cricket Club (GCC).

GCC is one of the largest clubs in the West-ern Suburbs, playing in the Williamstown District & Western District Junior Cricket Associations. Our home is the pavilion and four ovals at Digman Reserve in Newport and with over 160 Senior and Junior members, GCC is one of the big-gest community organisations in the area.

Last season we celebrated playing cricket in your area for 60 years, providing a safe and inclusive environment for cricketers of all ages and their families to play and socialise.

GCC has always had a strong community focus. We run a Milo “in2cricket” program for local children; and this year we will again be fielding seven junior and four senior teams in the local competition.

As well as the packages outlined later in this proposal, these are a few of the benefits a partnership with GCC will offer your business;

Community awareness and exposureAs a local club, the vast majority of our mem-bers live, and either work or study in your area. Most have ties to the local businesses and schools, and many work in professional organi-sations. Through the Milo “in2cricket” program, dozens of local school children and their par-ents are engaged by our club and therefore are exposed to your business.

Cross promotional advertising GCC will display your business logo via the club’s website and social media platforms, and therefore will be viewed by potential custom-ers that your current advertising may not normally reach.

You become part of a local clubAs a valued sponsor, we will show our apprecia-tion by welcoming you into our club as Social Members. You will be invited to our Sponsor’s Day for drinks and a BBQ and, depending on which sponsorship package bests suits your business, other functions throughout the year.

GCC realise that without the support of our sponsors it would not be possible to sustain the current level of service provided to GCC members and the broader Hobsons Bay community. We hope to develop a meaning-ful and mutually beneficial relationship with you and you business.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours sincerely,

Ashley FineClub President

AND

CCIn 1953, Gellibrand Cricket Club began with one team playing at Digman Reserve in Newport’s north-east. Since then, the club has experienced senior cricket successes in 8 seasons, and junior titles in both 2010/11 and 2012/13. The club is now home to 4 senior sides,

7 junior teams, and fields a team in the Mid-Year

Cricket Association.

Since the formation of the club, Gellibrand CC has found its strength in the local community. With strong support from residents of the Hobsons Bay area, and the dedication of the club’s volunteers, Gellibrand CC has seen consistent growth including the development and expansion of one of the area’s biggest junior cricket programs.

Into the future Gellibrand CC will look to diversify, strengthen and support its membership; including the expansion of junior

cricket, the development of girls cricket, and the improvement of the facilities at Digman Reserve.

Gellibrand CC engages over 400 members of the Hobson's Bay community, either as players, parents, volunteers, life members, or supporters. Membership over the past 12 years has quadrupled, from 40 members in 2001-02, to over 160 in the most recent season.

For the past decade GCC has focused on developing junior cricket, and now has 75 junior members, competing across 7 teams; giving GCC one of the largest junior programs in the Hobsons Bay area. Since 2003, GCC has run a successful Milo In2Cricket program, dedicated to teaching children aged 4 – 9 years old the skills needed to play and enjoy cricket.

GCC has a culture of diversity and equality, and actively encourages all members of the community to be a part of the club, and participate in cricket. In the most recent seasons, GCC have worked to engage with CALD (culturally & linguistically diverse) communities as reflected in the local community and now counts 10 CALD members.

GCC will continue to be the cricket club of choice for all members of the Hobsons Bay community, providing sporting opportunities to all ages and abilities.
