RH Youth Lacrosse Corporate Sponsorship Program

Mission Statement:
The mission of the Rush-Henrietta Lacrosse Club is to promote the game of lacrosse within the Rush-Henrietta School District. The club is open to all Rush-Henrietta youth (UPK-6th grade) interested in learning and developing their skills in the sport. We emphasize sportsmanship, fitness, achievement, teamwork, and skill development through league and tournament play. Additionally, we uphold a high standard of ethical conduct among our coaches, players, volunteers, and parents.

How your investment in RH Youth Lacrosse can make a difference:
Our goal at Rush-Henrietta Lacrosse Club is to create an inclusive and supportive environment where youth can learn the game and develop valuable life skills. We are committed to making lacrosse more accessible and affordable for children in our district. Due to generous donations in the past by supporters like yourself, our program has been able to provide players with safe rental equipment that meets the latest NOCSAE standards as well as expand our rental program by adding girls' sticks and helmets.

Your generous investment in our program will help us achieve these objectives, continue to expand upon previous successes, and increase awareness in the following ways:

• New Player Scholarships: Our unique demographic in RH can create a financial barrier to families with regard to their ability to participate in youth sports. As a program, we were able to sponsor six players between winter and spring of 2024-25 to play at the youth level. We are passionate about providing access to our program for any child in Rush Henrietta regardless of barriers or hardships. We would like to continue offering sponsorships as well as decrease the overall fees for all participating families. To grow our program and support youth development through sport, we aim to offer reduced participation fees for new players facing financial hardship. This initiative ensures that financial barriers do not prevent promising athletes from experiencing the game and strengthening our teams, particularly as youth sports participation declines nationwide
  
  
• Equipment Needs: Our long-term goal is to expand our learn-to-play program (Pre-K to Kindergarten) by building a supply of rental equipment for new players. As lacrosse grows in popularity, we are experiencing increased interest at the UPK and Kindergarten levels. We developed a year-round learn-to-play program at this level and hope to expand on this by offering it at no cost to those players beginning in fall 2025. Fundraising will also help us replenish and replace essential team equipment such as goals, nets, and balls. We designed and offered a new uniform bundle (jersey, pinnie, shooter shirt, and shorts) at half the cost for the first time in five years. Your investment will further help us continue this program as we continue to grow
  
  
• Facility Rentals: Currently, our club fees cover one indoor practice session per week for each team level (Fall & Spring). Additional funds would allow us to explore more practice opportunities, helping our teams remain competitive with other area programs that practice multiple times per week. This investment would also reduce the cost of winter skills and drills sessions, benefiting players in the Rush-Henrietta School District. Your support will significantly enhance the experience for these young athletes while providing your business with valuable visibility among our players, coaches, their families, and opposing teams. We deeply appreciate your generosity in helping us achieve this shared vision for RH Youth Lacrosse.
