RAFFLE SPONSORS

[Fore Wheeler]

The raffle is the life line to the club and the event. We need a raffle that will make the tightest of the pockets open and flow like a river.

PLEASE, if you have contacts call on them to donate what they can. Go to the local parts store that you should have stock in and ask for an oil change or tune up to donate to the raffle. Nothing is too small, or of course, too big.

However, DO NOT contact national vendors!!! This is very important that we don not step on the toes of the Mothership.

I've had a list in the past that seems moot to continue to use, so I'm not bringing it up again this year.

Thanks!!!!

mac 'need some folks to start making contact' gyvr

 

[kmanxj5050]

Does anybody have the generic letter for emailng to vendors? I just looked back into the 2014 forum and didn't see it.

When someone gets it let me know and I am going to save it on my Computer

 

[macgyvr]

Just start calling and emailing them. Make sure only one person contacts each one.

Tell them who we are and what we do. Expect 50-75 rigs and 100-125 people. 15th anniversary of the event. Unknown on magazine coverage, but they have covered us before, and I have asked FourWheeler to attend.

Sponsors that need contacted asap:
Hi-lift
Warn
Tom Woods - must call - emails all go into spam for sponsorship
ARB
East Coast gear supply
Bushwacker
Weather tech - Dan??
Iron Man fab
and ????

If they would give more than $500 they can get into the national sponsorship program for with a banner and such. Don't expect donations that big, but if it happens, let them know and then we can contact sponsorship.

Products can be shipped to me:
Matt Rowland
7525 Maplecrest Rd #123
Fort Wayne, IN 46835
260.402.3387

I just updated my mailing address, just got word today that it has changed.

If you wrote the old one down, its still good for the next year should something be sent there this year.

Left a message with my Weathertech contact.

 

[Fore Wheeler]

Hey guys, if we're gonna make this happen we need some help with this. This is the most important aspect of planning this event. Please, please get on board and start making contacts

 

[emptypockets86]

This is out of the other thread.

Contacted:

Total Metal Innovations
TMR Customs
Artec Industries
B. Lee Offroad
RCV - Swag bag
Master Pull - supposedly on board, called again today to follow up, waiting for return call from my contact
Bubba Rope

I can call Tom Woods today if no one else has contacted them.

 

[scoobyxj]

So is the one above the one to use or do we need another one? Also I've got phone numbers in front of me for all in that short list. I need to know if anyone has already contacted them yet. Last but not least I'm planning on contacting Rock Auto, Napa and see if I can find a sponsor for some cool LED flashlights. I want to see if we can get whoever makes the Bubba Rope to send us something too.


EDIT: Never mind on the Bubba Rope. I see it's being handled...

 

[emptypockets86]

Above is who I've contacted.

Talked to Brian at B. Lee Offroad to follow up my email and he is interested in possibly donating this year and even coming out one day to hang out with us. I have to email him some more info. We'll see where it goes.

I'm getting the best results emailing and following up with a phone call a day or so afterwards.

Take the list from last year, that is above, make sure nobody else has contacted people and you can start calling. I'm going to try to find out where that letter is from last year, Kelsy says he can't find it, I know we use it last year.

As a member of the Sponsorship Coordination Team for the Midwest chapter of the North American XJ Association, I am writing in regards to your potential sponsorship of our annual event, Winterfest 2015.

Winterfest will be held at the Badlands Offroad Park in Attica, Indiana March 6th and 7th. With an estimated attendance of over 150 people and 70 or more vehicles, it has become the premier event for our chapter and one of the best in our national organization, as well as drawing national media coverage in Four Wheeler magazine in the August 2010 issue.

The Midwest chapter of is comprised of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. With that said, we are one of the largest chapters in our national organization.

This event provides funds almost exclusively for the continued operation of our chapter and gives us options to donate to organizations fighting land use issues and the continued progress of the chapter. The MWC has donated to WHOVA, Redbird SRA in Dugger, IN, KSRocks ORP, Cadillac Jeepers . Not only did the MWC make a donation but, we also adopted a trail as well. A percentage of the proceeds from this raffle will go directly to land use causes and help keep our sport alive.

Your participation as a supporting vendor allows us to attract more participants to our event and your products will be showcased in our annual raffle. This provides your company with a great public relations opportunity through real grassroots word of mouth, the publication of your donation to our national newsletter and forums and through raising money for our local land use donations.

No donation is too small or too large, and all of our sponsors will benefit from some great free advertising, not to mention your support helps keep our lands open for wheeling. We encourage all of our sponsors to come out and wheel with us in March and see how your continued support helps to keep your current and future customers out wheeling and enjoying our sport.

I hope to hear from you soon. If you have any questions feel free to contact me via email or by phone at Xxxxxx. Thanks for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Midwest Chapter Sponsorship Coordination Team

I've since spiffed up my own version using that format.

 

[scoobyxj]

So is the one above the one to use or do we need another one?

I apolagize I wasn't clear (thinking in my head and just asked...) but this was in regards to Mat's address. Use this one,

Matt Rowland
7525 Maplecrest Rd #123
Fort Wayne, IN 46835
260.402.3387

or is there another that we need now?

Take the list from last year, that is above, make sure nobody else has contacted people and you can start calling. I'm going to try to find out where that letter is from last year, Kelsy says he can't find it, I know we use it last year.

This is that list correct?

Sponsors that need contacted asap:
Hi-lift
Warn
Tom Woods - must call - emails all go into spam for sponsorship
ARB
East Coast gear supply
Bushwacker
Weather tech - Dan??
Iron Man fab
and ????

With Anthony covering Tom Woods, and Dan has Weather Tech...

Then like I said I'd like to try...
Rock Auto
Napa
Maybe Eastwood
An LED flashlight maker. I was thinking Taklite Flashlights.
