Damien​ ​High​ ​School Mountain​ ​Biking​ ​Team 2017-2018

Sponsorship​ ​Proposal

Support​ ​a​ ​group​ ​of​ ​young​ ​men​ ​and​ ​women​ ​“racing” away​ ​from​ ​the​ ​ordinary…

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​The​ ​goal​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Damien​ ​High​ ​School​ ​Mountain​ ​Biking​ ​Team​ ​(DHSMTB)​ ​and​ ​our​ ​Road​ ​Biking

Club​ ​is​ ​to​ ​attract​ ​our​ ​young​ ​Spartan​ ​men​ ​and​ ​St.​ ​Lucy’s​ ​women​ ​to​ ​the​ ​sport​ ​of​ ​cycling.​ ​The​ ​club and​ ​team​ ​are​ ​technically​ ​two​ ​separate​ ​entities​ ​on​ ​campus​ ​but​ ​there​ ​is​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​crossover​ ​in​ ​riders. 2017-18​ ​starts​ ​our​ ​6th​ ​year​ ​with​ ​a​ ​road​ ​biking​ ​club​ ​and​ ​5th​ ​year​ ​as​ ​an​ ​official​ ​mountain​ ​biking team.​ ​The​ ​mountain​ ​bike​ ​racing​ ​team​ ​is​ ​an​ ​official​ ​school​ ​varsity​ ​sport​ ​that​ ​competes​ ​in​ ​the​ ​SoCal NICA​ ​league​ ​with​ ​80​ ​other​ ​high​ ​schools,​ ​and​ ​at​ ​state​ ​championships​ ​against​ ​another​ ​80​ ​in​ ​the NorCal​ ​league.​ ​The​ ​NICA​ ​program​ ​has​ ​spread​ ​to​ ​20​ ​different​ ​states​ ​as​ ​of​ ​this​ ​year​ ​and​ ​has​ ​been expanding​ ​at​ ​a​ ​rate​ ​of​ ​2-3​ ​states​ ​per​ ​year. Last​ ​year​ ​we​ ​competed​ ​in​ ​Division​ ​1​ ​of​ ​the​ ​SoCal​ ​NICA​ ​league​ ​with​ ​22​ ​riders​ ​from​ ​Damien and​ ​St.​ ​Lucy’s.​ ​More​ ​than​ ​half​ ​of​ ​the​ ​team​ ​qualified​ ​for​ ​the​ ​state​ ​championship​ ​race​ ​where​ ​we placed​ ​16th​ ​in​ ​the​ ​state.​ ​We​ ​need​ ​more​ ​girls​ ​to​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​be​ ​more​ ​competitive​ ​which​ ​means​ ​we need​ ​more​ ​funding​ ​to​ ​help​ ​them​ ​with​ ​bikes.​ ​We​ ​are​ ​the​ ​only​ ​true​ ​co-ed​ ​sports​ ​team​ ​at​ ​Damien with​ ​several​ ​girls​ ​from​ ​St.​ ​Lucy’s​ ​all​ ​competing​ ​as​ ​one​ ​team​ ​with​ ​the​ ​Damien​ ​boys.​ ​This​ ​year​ ​it looks​ ​like​ ​we​ ​will​ ​have​ ​quite​ ​a​ ​few​ ​more​ ​girls​ ​and​ ​we’re​ ​estimating​ ​our​ ​team​ ​size​ ​to​ ​be​ ​over​ ​32 riders.

The​ ​most​ ​visible​ ​segment​ ​of​ ​our​ ​group​ ​is​ ​the​ ​competitive​ ​mountain​ ​bike​ ​racing​ ​team however​ ​our​ ​members​ ​range​ ​from​ ​novice​ ​recreational​ ​riders​ ​to​ ​top-level​ ​racing​ ​cyclists.​ ​ ​We​ ​find that​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​best​ ​features​ ​of​ ​our​ ​cycling​ ​team​ ​is​ ​that​ ​anyone​ ​can​ ​participate.​ ​ ​Joining​ ​the​ ​team is​ ​the​ ​first​ ​experience​ ​many​ ​of​ ​the​ ​kids​ ​have​ ​with​ ​group​ ​cycling​ ​but​ ​most​ ​remain​ ​cyclists​ ​after​ ​they have​ ​ignited​ ​the​ ​passion.​ ​ ​Several​ ​of​ ​the​ ​graduates​ ​from​ ​the​ ​first​ ​two​ ​years​ ​are​ ​now​ ​riding​ ​in colleges​ ​and​ ​many​ ​of​ ​the​ ​current​ ​high​ ​school​ ​riders​ ​and​ ​graduates​ ​have​ ​jobs​ ​working​ ​in​ ​bike shops.​ ​We​ ​are​ ​striving​ ​to​ ​create​ ​a​ ​community​ ​around​ ​this​ ​fun,​ ​and​ ​healthy​ ​activity​ ​but​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to grow​ ​we​ ​need​ ​increased​ ​support. The​ ​popularity​ ​of​ ​cycling​ ​is​ ​on​ ​the​ ​rise​ ​in​ ​the​ ​US​ ​with​ ​the​ ​success​ ​of​ ​American​ ​cyclists​ ​in competition​ ​around​ ​the​ ​world.​ ​ ​America’s​ ​elite​ ​cyclists​ ​are​ ​perpetuating​ ​the​ ​cycle​ ​of strengthening​ ​and​ ​expanding​ ​the​ ​domestic​ ​cycling​ ​programs​ ​which​ ​helped​ ​them​ ​achieve​ ​their more​ ​recent​ ​successes.​ ​ ​The​ ​DHSMTB​ ​is​ ​one​ ​such​ ​program​ ​and​ ​we​ ​hope​ ​to​ ​continue​ ​building the​ ​cycling​ ​community​ ​with​ ​your​ ​support. The​ ​DHSMTB​ ​is​ ​inviting​ ​your​ ​company​ ​to​ ​join​ ​our​ ​team​ ​for​ ​the​ ​2017-18​ ​season. Contributions​ ​and​ ​donations​ ​help​ ​defray​ ​the​ ​costs​ ​associated​ ​with​ ​maintaining​ ​highly​ ​visible and​ ​competitive​ ​racing​ ​teams.​ ​A​ ​season​ ​of​ ​travel​ ​and​ ​lodging​ ​expenses,​ ​meals,​ ​spare​ ​parts,​ ​etc. add​ ​up​ ​quickly.​ ​ ​One​ ​racing​ ​bicycle​ ​costs​ ​from​ ​$700.00​ ​to​ ​$4,000.00.​ ​The​ ​bicycle​ ​alone​ ​is​ ​often more​ ​than​ ​an​ ​individual​ ​can​ ​afford​ ​and​ ​too​ ​often​ ​students​ ​families​ ​are​ ​unable​ ​to​ ​help​ ​provide the​ ​support​ ​needed.​ ​ ​An​ ​individual​ ​will​ ​still​ ​need​ ​to​ ​pay​ ​for​ ​jerseys,​ ​bibs,​ ​wind​ ​breakers,​ ​race fees,​ ​camping​ ​fees,​ ​food,​ ​etc​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​compete.​ ​ ​Contributions​ ​to​ ​the​ ​DHMTB​ ​allow​ ​us​ ​to​ ​help defray​ ​as​ ​much​ ​of​ ​these​ ​costs​ ​for​ ​our​ ​members​ ​as​ ​our​ ​budget​ ​will​ ​allow.​ ​ ​Over​ ​30%​ ​of​ ​students at​ ​Damien​ ​are​ ​receiving​ ​financial​ ​aid​ ​due​ ​to​ ​low​ ​family​ ​income​ ​so​ ​the​ ​more​ ​donations​ ​we

receive​ ​the​ ​more​ ​riders​ ​we​ ​can​ ​support​ ​and​ ​the​ ​more​ ​costs​ ​we​ ​can​ ​help​ ​cover. We​ ​believe​ ​success​ ​begets​ ​success.​ ​ ​A​ ​competitive​ ​DHSMTB​ ​team​ ​enhances​ ​the​ ​image of​ ​Damien​ ​and​ ​our​ ​sponsors.​ ​ ​A​ ​team​ ​and​ ​individuals​ ​need​ ​quality​ ​equipment​ ​to​ ​compete​ ​on​ ​an equal​ ​footing​ ​with​ ​other​ ​clubs.​ ​ ​Your​ ​support​ ​will​ ​help​ ​us​ ​reach​ ​a​ ​higher​ ​level​ ​of​ ​competition and​ ​rider​ ​participation.​ ​ ​The​ ​DHSMTB​ ​proudly​ ​recognizes​ ​our​ ​donors​ ​and​ ​contributors​ ​in​ ​our publications,​ ​on​ ​our​ ​web​ ​site,​ ​and​ ​(for​ ​those​ ​contributing​ ​at​ ​the​ ​appropriate​ ​level)​ ​with​ ​a placement​ ​on​ ​our​ ​team​ ​clothing​ ​and​ ​on​ ​our​ ​racing​ ​trailer.​ ​ ​All​ ​team​ ​and​ ​club​ ​members​ ​wear these​ ​uniforms​ ​alike.​ ​ ​We​ ​also​ ​sell​ ​team​ ​apparel​ ​to​ ​the​ ​school,​ ​local​ ​bike​ ​shops,​ ​parents​ ​and​ ​a very​ ​large​ ​growing​ ​alumni​ ​biker​ ​population. Please​ ​take​ ​a​ ​moment​ ​to​ ​review​ ​the​ ​enclosed​ ​proposal​ ​and​ ​additional​ ​information​ ​about the​ ​DHSMTB.​ ​ ​Included​ ​are​ ​the​ ​club​ ​mission​ ​statement,​ ​our​ ​current​ ​prospectus,​ ​our​ ​upcoming schedule,​ ​our​ ​projected​ ​2017-18​ ​budget,​ ​an​ ​overview​ ​of​ ​the​ ​benefits​ ​of​ ​sponsorship,​ ​and detailed​ ​instructions​ ​for​ ​contributing.​ ​These​ ​materials​ ​explain​ ​how,​ ​together,​ ​we​ ​can​ ​enhance our​ ​shared​ ​community​ ​and​ ​affiliate​ ​your​ ​company,​ ​name,​ ​or​ ​product​ ​with​ ​our​ ​first-class organization. Should​ ​you​ ​accept​ ​this​ ​chance​ ​to​ ​associate​ ​yourself​ ​with​ ​the​ ​DHSMTB​ ​you​ ​will​ ​be graciously​ ​supporting​ ​our​ ​mission.​ ​ ​You​ ​will​ ​also​ ​secure​ ​an​ ​exciting​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​be associated​ ​with​ ​our​ ​unique,​ ​rewarding​ ​organization​ ​and​ ​getting​ ​a​ ​tax​ ​write​ ​off.​ ​ ​We​ ​look forward​ ​to​ ​you​ ​joining​ ​our​ ​team​ ​promoting​ ​health​ ​and​ ​community​ ​while​ ​our​ ​high​ ​school athletes​ ​proudly​ ​represent​ ​you.

DHSMTB​ ​2017-18​ ​Prospectus: At this time there is a lot of work required to make the DHSMTB a strong organization as this is only the fifth year the mountain biking team has been in existence at the school. During our inaugural year we had 20 students on the team, making us one of the largest in the league. The outlook for this year is that we’ll have between 30 and 35 students on the racing team and an even larger recreational body of over 50 students, parents and alumni within the club going on road rides. This is a growth of over 50%! While our growth is very exciting to us, it also introduces more challenges due to the costs involved of running the team and club. Our average club ride now consists of around 20 people. We hope our racing team will always be a strong competitor at races but there is more to be done to engender a recreational cohort within the club​ ​which​ ​bonds​ ​our​ ​current​ ​students​ ​with​ ​alumni​ ​and​ ​parents. We expect that by introducing more participants from our campus to cycling we will be able to provide a healthy recreational opportunity and help new members discover a latent ability and love of racing. A stronger attraction of recreational riders to the club would ultimately improve our racing teams if we are able to help novice toward developing their skills and​ ​understanding​ ​of​ ​the​ ​many​ ​facets​ ​of​ ​cycling. For this reason the DHSMTB has planned to enact new initiatives in the coming year and to continuously improve our systems for attracting and welcoming members. This includes more deliberate advertising, developing club ambassadors, promoting our organization by goodwill and word of mouth, a more approachable meeting atmosphere, offering regular group rides at a casual pace, and more. Ideas and action are essential to achieving growth and we welcome help. One of the biggest projects we’re working on is starting a foundation to recycle bikes​ ​for​ ​the​ ​poor​ ​in​ ​the​ ​local​ ​community. It will be challenging to attract novice riders and we do not expect the growth to come quickly or easily. A significant effort will be required on the part of all officers and members. The assistance of our sponsors and contributors in the community will also be needed. We look forward to realizing the beginnings of our success, but our greater purpose is to set in motion year​ ​after​ ​year​ ​growth​ ​for​ ​those​ ​who​ ​follow.

While​ ​many​ ​students​ ​are​ ​paying​ ​a​ ​team​ ​fee​ ​and​ ​paying​ ​for​ ​their​ ​jerseys​ ​there​ ​are​ ​many that​ ​can’t​ ​afford​ ​all​ ​the​ ​dues,​ ​or​ ​even​ ​the​ ​cost​ ​of​ ​a​ ​bike.​ ​This​ ​total​ ​amount​ ​is​ ​far​ ​short​ ​of​ ​full funding​ ​for​ ​the​ ​team.​ ​Unlike​ ​other​ ​school​ ​sports,​ ​the​ ​DHSMTB​ ​is​ ​self​ ​sustained.​ ​We​ ​need​ ​to raise​ ​the​ ​funds​ ​required​ ​to​ ​run​ ​the​ ​team​ ​on​ ​our​ ​own. The​ ​cost​ ​of​ ​racing​ ​–​ ​gas,​ ​race​ ​fees,​ ​hotels,​ ​food,​ ​clothing,​ ​camping​ ​fees,​ ​repairs, equipment​ ​–​ ​quickly​ ​absorbs​ ​our​ ​available​ ​budget.​ ​ ​This​ ​situation​ ​forces​ ​our​ ​individual student​ ​athletes​ ​to​ ​carry​ ​much​ ​of​ ​the​ ​financial​ ​burden.​ ​ ​Since​ ​many​ ​students​ ​cannot​ ​budget this​ ​type​ ​of​ ​money​ ​it​ ​is​ ​very​ ​difficult​ ​for​ ​members​ ​to​ ​cover​ ​enough​ ​expenses​ ​to​ ​participate. Monetary​ ​support​ ​helps​ ​every​ ​student-athlete​ ​who​ ​wants​ ​to​ ​participate.​ ​Equipment and​ ​merchandise​ ​help​ ​offset​ ​the​ ​cost​ ​incurred​ ​to​ ​each​ ​rider​ ​for​ ​bicycles,​ ​clothing,​ ​components, and​ ​incidental​ ​cycling​ ​related​ ​items.​ ​ ​Services,​ ​such​ ​as​ ​volunteers​ ​and​ ​professional​ ​help,​ ​are also​ ​extremely​ ​helpful​ ​for​ ​our​ ​team.
