2019 Nordic Cup Sponsorship Program

Dear,

In 2019, Nordic Soccer Club will once again host one of New England’s most prestigious soccer tournaments – The Nordic Cup. We would like to invite (Company Name Here) to become an official sponsor as we welcome more than 12,000 players and family members to Vermont on June 15th and June 16th!

The Nordic Cup is not only Vermont’s premier youth sports event, but is the second largest participatory event in our state. Only the Vermont City Marathon is larger! The Nordic Cup spans a 3-day period (Friday – Sunday), and generates more than $3.5 million for the local economy. More than 3,000 hotel rooms are reserved by TNC visitors with an average of 4-6 hours of discretionary time per day.

The Nordic Cup features 4,000 youth soccer players aged 9-19, with more than 230 teams visiting from Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Canada. The games, and sponsored concessions, span 8 locations in Chittenden County, including the Essex Tree
Farm, University of Vermont and St. Michael’s College. The tournament also has a significant presence in Stowe, Vt., for our younger age groups.

Nordic Soccer Club is a non-profit educational soccer organization dedicated to providing high-level teaching and coaching and high-level competition with a focus on inclusion and engaging youth from all socioeconomic backgrounds. We invite you to review our sponsorship opportunities outlined herein and join us to create a relationship that will deliver a powerful message to your target audience and have a measurable financial and social impact on your business. We would love to discuss an opportunity to partner and answer any questions you may have upon review of the sponsorship levels. Our recently updated website, e-newsletter, and custom event app will provide amazing ways to create a tailored program to reach your target audience.

Please consider partnering with us to support this unique and exciting event. Thank you for your consideration and please feel free to contact us with any feedback. We’ll be in touch in the near future to gauge your interest.

Warmest regards,
