Donation / Sponsorship

Upstate Franchise Basketball Association, an AAU affiliated organization, is a 501c3, non-profit, volunteer organization that has been operating since August 2005. We are led by volunteer coaches and parents devoted to providing local student athletes an opportunity to develop their basketball skills in a positive, competitive team environment.

Our mission is to teach young athletes to play basketball at a highly competitive level and use the medium of basketball to achieve character development, physical and mental fitness, and teamwork and leadership skills that will help these young athletes to become successful in life.

Our primary source of revenue will be through registration fees and fundraisers to cover expenses such as AAU certification, insurance, gym fees, league and tournament entry fees, website, uniforms, and travel expenses. Our players range in age from 4 to 20, and we are expecting to grow every year!

We are looking for sponsors for the following:

• Tutoring program
• Educational materials
• Life skills/enrichment classes
• Uniforms
• Apparel
• Hosted tournaments
• Camps
• Training
• Guest speakers
• Funding to allow teams to attend the largest tournaments each year, including AAU National Championships

All sponsorship money received is used solely for the expenses of the club and teams. This is a wonderful opportunity to positively affect the lives of children who live in our community!
