2014 Bigfooty Lions Board Player Sponsorship
Overview
The Brisbane Lions enable supporters to sponsor individual players for a year, costing between $380 and $830, depending on the seniority of the player.
In return, sponsors get an opportunity to meet their player and a signed guernsey or photo, among other goodies.
Each year BigFooty organises group sponsorships, with minimum contributions starting from just $50. We collectively vote on which players to sponsor, with votes weighted by the amount you've contributed.
Then once the sponsorships are finalised, we raffle out the individual prizes to participants. Again, the more you've contributed, the more "raffle tickets" you get.
In essence, it is a cheap way of contributing to our Club, while having a decent chance of "winning a prize" in return.
It has proved very popular, particularly over the last few years, raising more than $12000 for the Club, with dozens of users sharing in the "prize-pool".
This year we'd like to lift the bar yet again, so we're aiming to raise $4000.

NB There's a per player limit of 4 sponsors in Queensland and 4 sponsors in Victoria.
What do sponsors get in return?

• Recognition in the Season Review magazine and Club website lions.com.au
QLD player sponsors also receive

BigFooty Group Sponsorship Details
If you'd like to be a part of our group sponsorship, simply state the amount you'd like to contribute in this thread along with your 1 vote for the first sponsored player, then I will send you my bank details via Private Message.
• the minimum contribution is $50
• for each $25, a user gets a 1 vote for the players they would like to see sponsored.
• we will organise a purchase of a sponsorship for whoever is the leading vote getter. If that player is sold out we will arrange for the player with the 2nd most votes to be sponsored
• any remaining funds will go towards the next sponsorship. Voting for the previous sponsorship will be wiped, and users will be invited to resubmit votes, so try to keep an eye on the thread title so you know when to vote again.
• once all sponsorships are complete, the prizes will be allocated. This is done at the end to give everyone equal opportunity to win prizes. Users are given a raffle entry for each $25 they contribute, and with that raffle entry they choose which prize they would like to be in the pool for. The winners will then be drawn at random, and we will convey postage details to the club so that the winners can receive their prize.
BigFooty Contribution
• each year Chief contributes $200 towards each club's player sponsorship(s)
• all contributors will get a sponsorship badge (aka BigFooty Bling), which can be seen under a poster's username (like my "Beams 12" tag). Posters will be able to choose which of the sponsored players they want on their badge.
• users who contribute $50 will receive a free BigFooty Gold sponsorship for 12 months. Benefits.
• users who contribute $100 or more will receive a free BigFooty platinum sponsorship for 12 months. Benefits.
Dates
• the commencement of the sponsorships will begin when the Lions office have processed our sponsorship purchase.
• the completion of the sponsorships will probably be in late March. In 2011 the Victorian sponsor function was held on May 1st. To allow enough time to send out the invites, sponsorships had to be completed by April 1st. On top of that we will need at least two weeks to organise the raffle of prizes, and to collect the postage details for the winners.
Who can be Sponsored?
• any of the players on the senior list
• any of the players on the rookie list
• not the scholarship players
