2017 sponsor packet as booklet 1 - Englewood Beach Waterfest · 2018. 5. 2. · Dear Valued...

Hi Ray,

First, I wanted to let you know you knocked it out of the park. I've been producing boat races since 1982 and

I've never seen such a well organized and a ended event like this one. Englewood is the perfect market for

this event....and it showed. The response from the community was amazing. The parade had the largest

number of spectators of any that I've ever a ended. People must have been eight deep along the sidewalks,

standing in the dark, wai ng for the parade to start….great job!

You may not realize it but at most race sites, the dry pits are miles away from the race site. As an example,

look at Sarasota, the pits and the race course are several miles apart. Your site allows for the Dry Pits and

Crane area to be right up against the beach and food vendors, so everything is in one loca on.

Please give yourselves a pat on the back for a job well done. Even the awards ceremony was done really well

with food and drinks available throughout. Just through observa on, I can't see the overall economic impact

to the town being less than two million dollars. You've done a great job for your community.

Thank you for an amazing weekend and we look forward to returning next year.

Dear Valued Sponsor, We are pleased to announce the Englewood Beach will be hosting what has become now their largest event, the 2017 Englewood Beach Waterfest Offshore World Championship Boat Races (Offshore Powerboat Association). This event is scheduled to take place November 17-19, 2017. This will be Englewood Beach's 3rd year in a row to have this opportunity to host such a large event which has gown substantially since 2015. In order for this event to be a continued success this year and into the future, the key ingredient is the continued need for sponsorship support and participation. It has been proven that this event continues to provide positive economic impact for increased revenue generation to businesses in the local and surrounding communities. To confirm this positive impact, Research Data Services Inc. conducted a study on the 2016 event that revealed that Waterfest generated $5.6M with 20,000 plus people in attendance. That is over double the revenue generated in 2015 of $2.6M. In addition, the race was also broadcasted live on ABC 7 in Sarasota covering 2 days of high power boat races. Therefore, we are seeking your sponsorship support and have included the different sponsorship packages for your review and commitment along with a sampling of sponsors who have supported Waterfest. This is an excellent opportunity for each sponsor to capitalize on knowing the positive impact and exposure this has delivered to any and all types businesses. In addition, we are seeking additional Corporate Sponsor(s) to have naming rights for this year's event (i.e. 2016 was presented by McDonald's). We look forward to an affirmative response of sponsorship from you to make this event successful for both your business and our community. Please contact me directly at (941) 468-3050 or visit our website at http://englewoodbeachwaterfest.com. Best regards, Ray LaBadie Waterfest President & Race Village Chairman
