2023 Sponsorship
Please take a moment to read.
Manitoulin Special Olympics has shared the love of sport and sportsmanship to over 60 athletes on Manitoulin Island. Special Olympics itself provides sports training and competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, however, it has become so much more than that! It has created a confidence in our individuals, enabling many to smile and laugh without being judged. It has provided a feeling of inclusion and accomplishment. It has had the ripple effect here on Manitoulin Island and we have developed an even larger community of supporters.
We run 7 sport programs, all of which require funds to provide equipment, training, transportation and registration to compete. We came up with an enjoyable way to raised funds 14 years ago by having one large fundraiser that our athletes can volunteer with instead of the many bake sales and raffles of the past. Bluegrass in the Country is run by volunteers and 100% of all the money raised go directly into the Manitoulin Special Olympics bank account.
We are grass roots but have managed to obtain some quality coaches that have provided opportunity for our athletes to qualify at Regionals, Provincials, Nationals and have even medaled at the World Games. Bluegrass in the Country is held at the fairgrounds in beautiful Providence Bay on Manitoulin Island. It will be held from Friday to Sunday: June 9-11, 2023. This year we are excited to have the mesmerizing Next Generation Leahy Family headlining our show, returning to our stage with a new addition to this very high energy show. Also performing will be The New General Store, George Williamson & Cole Hughson, Denis Lepage & HighBanks BG band, Larry Carriere & Different Pics, Ellie Maxwell, Robbie Shawana, Avery Drive, Jim Beech and Ben Lentir.
It takes a lot of volunteers and of course, financial support. We know the past few years have been very difficult times for many individuals and businesses so we ask that you take time to consider our request and if possible, become a “Bluegrass in the Country” sponsor. If you are unable to financially support this endeavour we totally understand. In becoming an official sponsor for our event, this will allow us to get the ball rolling and cover the start-up costs associated with the bands. In return, your business will be featured at our event over the four day period.
We will continually promote your business by using a large advertising screen at our event. Your company name will also be displayed on our Bluegrass in the Country website for a year and official receipts will be issued.
We need your help to keep our programs running.
Please make cheques payable to: Manitoulin Special Olympics, Box 86, Mindemoya, Ontario P0P 1S0
Please provide us with a Business Card in order for us to Advertise your Business on our Electronic Sponsor Board.
Thank you for your support,
