SPONSOR BENEFITS

Gulf Shores | Orange Beach Sports & Events is able to provide grants to events because of our annual sponsors. GSOB Sports & Events requests representation at each event through signage, tables, etc. GSOB Sports & Events will occasionally pass these opportunities on to our sponsors, allowing them recognition at such events.

Sporting event sponsorship opportunities*

(select all sporting event sponsorship opportunities for GSOB Sports & Events to utilize)

SIGNATURE / ACKNOWLEGEMENT

Please complete the attached W-9 form. ATTACH W-9

All grants are reviewed, scored and approved prior to the event on a point-based system but are awarded on a performance basis. Grant approval and grant funding may not equal the same amount.

At all events sponsored by Gulf Shores | Orange Beach Sports & Events either by in-kind contributions or cash-only, event-specific sponsors or GSOB Sports & Events sponsors may be promoted or be present on site. Bringing outside sponsors to the event or promoting within the event could reduce GSOB Sports & Event’s sponsorship of the event.

Grant funding will be awarded once the event is complete, room night forms have been verified, room forms have been returned, and a W-9 form is on file.
