Dear Prospective Sponsor,

My name is Brian Detrick and I am the Saint Mary's College Tournament Director for the Collegiate Water Ski National All-Stars and University Worlds U.S. Team Trials being held in Elk Grove, CA at Shortline Lake from May 21-23, 2010.  This tournament is the only National Collegiate event on the west coast in 2010 and I am seeking your participation as a sponsor to bring these nationally and world ranked athletes to Shortline Lake.

This tournament attracts the top ranked National and International Collegiate athletes including Junior and U21 World Champions competing for National Collegiate Titles and making the University Team. The intense level of competition also attracts hundreds of athletic and enthusiastic water sport spectators as well as successful professionals and business owners. Because water skiing is family oriented, the water skiing community is one big family and many families will be attending.

Sponsor's logos are displayed on the posters, t-shirts, bibs (skier jersey) and the National Collegiate Water Ski Association website (ncwsa.com) which attracted thousands of visitors during the 2009 Collegiate Nationals. The website is used to advertise the event, promote the sponsors, communicate with the competitors, local community and water ski industry.

These are only some of the ways we actively promote the event along with the sponsors contributing to make it a success.  The Saint Mary's Waterski and Wakeboard Team is also committed to ensuring your organization receives the maximum exposure from the event. All donations will benefit the Saint Mary's College Waterski & Wakeboard Team. Donations will help pay for equipment, travel to the Regional and National Championships; as well as conference tournaments throughout California, Washington and Arizona.

In closing, this is the West Coast's biggest event in 2010 for collegiate water skiing and it is a unique opportunity for sponsors to promote their products and services. I hope you will consider becoming a sponsor.

If you have any questions or wish to discuss this opportunity in more detail, please contact me at (916) 710-4493 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or P.O. Box 2349 Elk Grove, CA 95759.
