Stryke Force relies on the support of local businesses to cover our NRG, VEX and FRC program expenses. Sponsorships can be financial donations or in-kind donations (services or items that we would have had to pay for). Stryke Force is continually looking for new sponsors.
The objective of this Stryke Force Olympic event is to identify five potential new sponsors to the team and then create and deliver a five minute (max) presentation to “sell” Stryke Force to that business.
There are two challenges in this event. The team may opt to do just #1 or for bonus points do both:
Identify five businesses that (1) are new and (2) you think would want to support our team. As you do this it is best to start with “friends and family”—those businesses you or a family member know or have some relationship with or would like to have a relationship with.
Pick one of your five businesses from Challenge 1. Create and deliver a five-minute presentation. Try to make it personal and specific for that business. Consider the question: why would company X want to support Stryke Force. You can use visual aids but they are not required.
Note: you will presenting this to Stryke Force mentors. This challenge combines the knowledge of our team and the business you select, and your presentation skills. Think talking slowly, using good eye contact, showing confidence on the topic.
Your team can earn up to ten points for a list of five potential sponsors. Scoring will be weighted for businesses most likely to be a good fit for Stryke Force Additionally your team can earn up to ten points for an effective and compelling presentation.
