CCS is always seeking to expand our sponsorships by providing local businesses the opportunity to enhance their visibility in the Southeastern Connecticut community, while being involved in tournaments and programs that will directly impact its local customers, employees, and families.  The Nike Labor Day Classic is especially well suited for businesses with locations in Southeastern Connecticut, Western Rhode Island and Long Island, NY.  The direct audience includes about 2,500 boys and girls ranging in age from 9 to 18, and their families (750 camps and clinics, 1,800 at the Nike Labor Day Classic); 175 officials and referees; coaches, trainers, and team managers; tournament volunteers, and an estimated 8,000 parents, siblings, and other relatives who attend as spectators. Sponsors are also prominently displayed on the CCS Website, in promotional materials, with onsite signage, as well as within email communications to our participants.

The demographics of this tournament make an ideal vehicle for direct print, email and event marketing/exhibition of products and services, and for image enhancement within a captive buying audience.

We strongly feel that the benefits of sponsoring our tournament far outweigh the cost of your sponsorship.  Thank you for your help in making the Nike Labor Day Classic an enduring part of our community for years to come, and for your commitment to supporting CCS and its programs.  If you have any questions or want to discuss sponsoring the Nike Labor Day Classic, please contact Mark Shreve at [email protected].
