deck the arena walls!
As we head into the holiday season, we are kicking off our annual "Deck the Walls" Campaign to secure sponsorships that directly support our players and the organization throughout the year.
This campaign is essential for investing in the growth of our athletes, reinforcing life skills like teamwork and discipline, and promoting a positive community around the sport.
We are asking for your help! Please think of any businesses, organizations, or individuals you know who would be interested in sponsoring a wall banner at the Eagles Ice Arena (EIC).
Sponsorship Opportunities (1-Year Term):
- 4x4 Hanging Banner: $800
- 4x8 Hanging Banner: $1,200
Their banner will be displayed proudly on the rink walls, demonstrating their commitment to our players and the local hockey community.
If you have a potential lead or would like more information on how to participate, please use the attached flyer for guidance!
