In an effort to secure funding to maintain our scoreboards and improve our athletic facilities, I'm excited to share that we are offering a series of sponsorship opportunities. We will be selling panels on the sides and bottom of our scoreboards to the Darlington Community and businesses in Rome and the surrounding area. The signage will be consistent with the Darlington School brand and must be approved by the school as per our Sponsorship Policy.
Scoreboard sponsorships may be purchased for the 2017-18 school year beginning July 21, 2016 at 8 a.m. We will share a direct link in advance, which should be used to select and pay for the sponsorship boards of your choosing. We will manage this opportunity entirely online on a first-come, first-served basis; we will not reserve board space in advance.
All of the sponsorship boards will be up for the entirety of the 2017-18 school year, and sponsors will receive first right of refusal for the 2018-19 school year. However, a few of them may be installed during the current year as we replace some of the older scoreboards (i.e. lacrosse, soccer, swimming). This would give you a bit of additional exposure at no additional cost.
Below is a general overview of the opportunities that will be available for purchase as well as the pricing structure. Mock-ups of these boards will be available on the ordering page.
Chris Hunter Stadium - 4 side panels, 3 bottom ($4,000 each)
Baseball - 6 side panels, 4 bottom ($3,000 each)
Swimming - 8 advertisements ($3,000 each)
Lacrosse - 2 side panels, 4 bottom ($2,000 each)
Soccer (2 different fields) - 4 side panels, 8 bottom ($2,000 each)
Softball - 2 side panels ($1,500 each)
Van Es Arena (2 scoreboards) - 8 side panels ($3,000 each)

We are very excited about this mutually beneficial opportunity to showcase local businesses here on our campus, and we hope our community will take advantage of it!
