2008 FCA MANHATTAN CUP
TOURNAMENT SPONSORSHIP LEVELS
Presenting Sponsorship- (Limited to one Sponsor)
As a Presenting Sponsor, the tournament will be officially
called “The FCA Manhattan Cup presented by….”
and your company will be linked to the premier inshore
fishing tournament in the Northeast. There are no events
like this that even come close. All posters, banners
and flyers will include this sponsorship designation.
Additionally, all tournament clothing will be embroidered
with your company name or logo and you will receive
top placement for your product or service at the event.
$20,000 (Payment can be $10,000 cash
& $10,000 retail value of a product.)
Awards Dinner Sponsor- (Limited to one Sponsor.
Theme can fit your request)
This year’s awards ceremony will be held both
inside the Chelsea Brewery overlooking the micro brewery’s
brewing operation and outdoors, under a tent right on
the Hudson River, and feature a live auction. This will
be a “Themed” party, which in the past,
has included an authentic Cajun crawfish boil and fish
fry dinner and a live Zydeco band, and “Inspired”
drinks. The dinner will be the highlight of this year’s
tournament and we expect a number of special guests
and musicians to raise the excitement bar even higher
(Clarence Clemens performed last year!). $5,000
($8,000 in retail product may be considered)
Tournament Kick-Off Breakfast & Captains
Meeting (Limited to one Sponsor)
The pre-launch breakfast is for all captains and participants
and will set the tone for the day. As soon as participants
and captains arrive, they are greeted with a delicious
breakfast overlooking the marina. It’s here, where
teams meet with their captains and go over the rules
of the tournament. A “shotgun” start signifies
the beginning of the tournament. $2500
($4,000 in retail product may be considered)
Box Lunch Sponsor- (limited to one Sponsor)
All Captains and participants will receive a delicious
box lunch to sustain them through the day. All box lunches
will be prominently displayed and then, distributed
to all participants before the start of the tournament.
This is a great fit for a food based group, or any company
that wants to “brand” the boxes themselves.
$2,500
(Actual boxed lunches may be considered as sponsorship)
Trophy Division Sponsorships- (Limited to three
sponsors)
This year’s trophies will be framed works of art.
World renowned artist Alan James Robinson has custom
designed each trophy print specifically for the Manhattan
Cup. Your company’s name and the trophy description
will be integrated into the artwork (for example the
“The Sage Fly fishing Division Award” for
largest…)
Trophy sponsorship is at the Division level, and there
are three divisions: Fly Fishing, Artificial
and Bait. Six trophies will be awarded in each
division.
Largest Striped Bass caught by an angler and one for
the captain.
Largest Bluefish caught by an angler and one for the
captain.
Largest Weakfish caught by an angler and one for the
captain.
