Sponsorship Information
 
 Mission

Our mission is to promote and grow the sport of Short Track Ice Speedskating in the greater Buffalo, New York area. Buffalo Speedskating membership is open to skaters of all ages and abilities. Our goal is to provide a safe, supportive and fun environment for all athletes. We strive as a group to help all skaters reach their individual goals and potential.

 Your support as a sponsor, to help promote the fast and exciting sport of Short Track Speedskating in Western New York, would be greatly appreciated. To become a sponsor please email Jim or give him a call at 716-632-8522, thank you.

Please note that when a club member brings in a sponsor, 25% of the sponsorship goes to support that member. This money is used towards the skater's membership responsibility, or other skating related costs such as race participation fees. This program encourages individual members to obtain sponsors, and allows sponsors to directly support individual skaters, as well as the club.

 

What funds are needed for:

• Purchase safety mats. We skate at two different rinks and require two full sets of mats. This is currently our primary need.

• Purchase equipment for use by new skaters, and in Learn to Skate Programs. Specifically, boots and blades, helmets, knee guards, neck guards, and sharpening equipment.

• Subsidize the purchase of ice time.

• Help defray the cost of administrative and promotional materials.

• Provide scholarships (full or partial) to skaters unable to meet their membership payment obligations.
