Sponsorship Opportunities

The Greystanes Giants are looking for 2024/2025 season sponsors. Should you wish to support us, contact us on greystanes_softball@hotmail.com or 0421 808 865.

Grassroots sporting communities can benefit from the financial and in-kind support of sponsors to give back to members and reduce costs associated with the general running of the club.

Sponsorship can involve:

• Direct sponsorship of players
• Uniform sponsorship
• Equipment sponsorship
• Grounds and venue hire sponsorship
• Competition sponsorship
• In-kind sponsorship (goods, services, venue use, resources)

Sponsorship may be in the form of cash, donated goods and services or access. Whether that is to resources or staff of the sponsor.

We offer a range of sponsorship packages that can be tailored to meet your specific needs and budget. Some of the benefits of sponsoring the Greystanes Giants include:

• Increased business and brand exposure at our games and training locations, and through our website, social media channels, and events
• Opportunities to promote your products, services, promotions or job vacancies directly to our members and their families
• Builds awareness of your business values and culture
• Expands your network outside your industry and immediate locale
• Positive association with a community-oriented and family-friendly organisation

Other reasons to sponsor a sporting group include:

• You will be gaining a sense of involvement with the community, outside of your regular business interactions with customers/clients
• You will help keep the cost of kids sports programs down. Player participation fees cover the majority of the costs of a kids sports program but support from sponsors provide additional resources which can help keep participation fees down. With manageable fees, more families are able to afford to sign up and that means more children being able to receive the many benefits of sports.
• You will be making a difference to the lives of young people
• You will be inspiring the next generation of stars

We would love to discuss these opportunities further with you and explore how we can work together to make a meaningful impact on the lives of women and children in our community. Reach out if you would like a copy of our 2024 Sponsorship Prospectus or get in Contact with Jules Thai, our Fundraising and Sponsorship Officer to discuss further on julieathai@gmail.com.

Our Sponsors

Our sponsors provide incredible support to the Greystanes Giants Softball Club and our local community. Support them as much as they support us!

Current Sponsors

RBI Australia provides baseball and softball training facilities and retail products to players of all ages and skill levels. RBI Australia has kindly donated us a voucher to use towards the purchase of equipment from their store. RBI Australia also sponsors one of our weekly Player of the Week awards, with a certificate and $5 voucher to use towards purchases at their stores.

Given their proximity to our Club and playing fields, many of our players shop at RBI Australia. If you are in need of new t-ball or softball apparel and equipment, check out their website or retail stores in Smeaton Grange and Rouse Hill.

From October 2023, McDonalds have signed on as our sponsor for our weekly junior player of the week award, recognising a player from each of our junior teams each Saturday for exhibiting team spirit, team values or exceptional sportsmanship. Players who earn a McDonalds Achievement Award are eligible for a free Happy Meal at McDonalds Schofields, Westmead, M4 East, M4 West and Marsden Park. The McDonalds Achievement Award is one way McDonalds invests in the local community and in grassroots sports.

ClubsNSW Club Grants

The ClubGRANTS scheme is a state-wide initiative that provides the framework for registered clubs to directly fund local priority projects and services.

We thank the Smithfield RSL and Wenty Leagues for their monetary and in-kind contributions to our Club, which has helped us grow, reduce operating costs and plan for the future. We hold our Club events including our annual Presentation Ceremony ("Preso Night") at the Smithfield RSL and our Committee regularly meets in the meeting rooms at Wenty Leagues. 

Our members always feel welcome at these venues and we look forward to continuing our relationship with Smithfield RSL and Wenty Leagues.

Grants

The Greystanes Giants is a recipient of the 2022 Office of Sport Local Sport Grant Program (LSGP).

We acknowledge the contribution this grant has made to our Club during unprecedented times.

The support of the NSW Government through their Local Sport Grant Program over the last couple of years has helped our club to purchase equipment, aid Covid-safe practices, reduce the costs for returning members returning to the sport after lockdowns.

This Program encourages community engagement and player participation, providing the confidence to return to the sport knowing we can provide a safe environment to train and play. This Program is inclusive, and promotes healthy lifestyles and positive mental health.
