Sponsorship

The Greater Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame has been an integral part of the Syracuse sports community since its inaugural Induction Dinner and Ceremony in 1987.

The initial 1987 Class of 10 sports greats has grown to over 161 Hall of Famers who represent a tremendous cross-section of our sports community.

Every year since out first Dinner, we have selected and honored those men and women who have helped make Syracuse the great sports community that it is. Each year over 500 people gather at the Drumlins Country Club to honor these Syracuse greats. This event is televised live on Time Warner Cable.

As the Greater Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame continues to grow and to perpetuate our sports heritage, we have decided to ask a number of selected companies and organizations to take a serious look at underwriting the cost of the Dinner while gaining valuable visibility and credibility by becoming associated with the Greater Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame as a Sponsor for the Annual Dinner and Induction Ceremony.

The Greater Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame is structured as a 501 © (3) not-for-profit historical organization.

Please take some time to look over the various sponsorship opportunities that are aimed at creating both marketing attention and exposure for your company or organization.

We are offering One Year Sponsorship Packages at different levels but would gladly entertain structuring a continuing and long-term package if you would so desire.

We thank you in advance for the opportunity to present this Sponsorship Package and look forward to meeting with you personally to discuss these marketing and promotional considerations.

If you have any additional questions concerning any of these Sponsorship Packages, please contact Bill Motto (315 657-3718) or any of our Board members.
