Pole Vault Non Profit Support
Posted: Fri Dec 19, 2008 3:22 am
I have been working on a potential scheme to provide financial support to elite and emerging elite pole vaulters in the US.
My initial question to the Pole Vault community is if there was a non for profit organization in place that you could support to help provide purses and rewards to pole vaulters in the US for their performances would there be people out there that would support such an organization with donations.
In the next couple of days I will be posting more information on the structure and thoughts for people to look at and discuss. The current basic structure that I put together would need to raise roughly $100,000 based on performances in 2008 for those that hit the "B" standard and above for men and women.
Example of Support x person does a donation of $200.00 or x company provides the $2,000 sponsor for the male with the 5th most points as either advertising expense.
We all cry things need to be done but who is going to step up to do something about it. Due to the nature of the organization it would be non profit in the sense the money in would go out to athletes.
