2020 Bigfooty Lions Board Player Sponsorship

Welcome to the 2020 Bigfooty Brisbane Lions board player sponsorship. Thought I would get the ball rolling for this year. For both newcomers and those who have participated before, I have outlined the relevant information below.

If you can spare a little bit of cash and want to get involved in the lions board player sponsorship we'd be thrilled to have you on board, whether you've contributed in the past or are wanting to get involved for the first time. I've been apart of the lions boards player sponsorship for a few years now and its a great initiative where we can show our support to the boys and have a chance at winning some great prizes.


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 $13,500 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 $3000.


(See Post #4 to keep tabs on how we're tracking)

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.


1. The minimum contribution is $50.

2. For each $25, a user gets 1 vote for the players they would like to see sponsored.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

Are we sponsoring the women’s team as well? Would like to throw some money to Jess Wuetchner after the lightening strike.

I think I went down that path of inquiry last year and it wasn't possible. I've had a quick look and couldn't see anything which would indicate that there has been any change.
 
Friends, I have contacted the Lions and been given a list of availability for sponsorship. I have received $1,020.00/$1,070.00. Per the below there are a few ways we can play it...
  1. Option one - J Berry with the remainder carried over to next year.
  2. Option two - Charlie Cameron and Ely Smith
  3. Option three - Cameron Rayner and Ely Smith, with the remainder carried over.
  4. Option four - we could do two of the category three players and carry over the remainder, but I don't think those players received enough votes to justify selection.
Does anyone have any preferences? I am happy to take a vote or do whatever you guys would like. FWIW my preference is option two.

Tally of votes
The tally of votes is as follows:
  • J Berry 41
  • E Smith 24
