After a successful 2 years of Player Sponsorship, the Swans Board is looking to continue this initiative in 2018.
Sponsored Player History
2016 - Callum Mills
2017 - George Hewett
2018 - Gary Rohan
Volunteer coordinator wanted!
We are looking for an interested volunteer (preferably based in Sydney) to coordinate the logistics of our membership for 2018. I am based interstate and RW is off globetrotting. It makes things much easier if we have somebody based in Sydney to assist with receiving our membership benefits and so on. If you would like to help, please contact us
____________________________________________________________
What we aim to do is raise enough to purchase a Double Redbacks Membership in the name of "Big Footy Swans Board" at the cost of $2418 (or 2 Redbacks Membership if we have sufficient interest) and with that membership package there is a Player Sponsorship feature. The club has said that we can nominate a player we wish to sponsor, though there is no guarantee of having our preferred player assigned. We will put this up to a vote for everyone that contributes to the membership. Naturally the more high profile the player the less likely they are to be available, however we can create a shortlist to have a higher chance of being assigned one of the players. The player we do end up sponsoring will be made available at club functions to whoever attends as the board's Redbacks member for that event.
UPDATE: Our sponsored player for 2018 is Gary Rohan!
As you can see to the left on my profile, everyone that contributes will receive a badge with the player we sponsor and the year. Everyone that donates over $50 will receive a Big Footy Gold Membership and everyone who donates over $100 will receive a Big Footy Platinum Membership!
Benefits that come with the membership package include:
- invitations to a cocktail night,
- a ticket to the Guernsey Presentation Dinner,
- a ticket to a pre-match function and an after match function.
- We will also have a Premium reserved seat/s at each home game with associated match day parking.
- Another feature that has been relevant in both 2016 and 2017 is of course the priority access to finals tickets including a guaranteed Grand Final ticket.
All prizes will be raffled off to everyone with a share in the player sponsorship. We will split "shares" up into $25 per share and the draws are done randomly using www.random.org. Any money raised that doesn't go towards the membership (i.e. if we raise $2718, the remaining $300) we'll donate to the Sydney Swans Foundation in the Board's Name to contribute to the ongoing support of the club.
Please post below or PM one of the friendly moderator team - RW , Cloud_ , scaryness or myself to either express interest or ask any questions.
We need to get an idea of interest ASAP in order to meet the deadline to renew our membership, so don't delay, donate today!
