A NEW SPONSOR PROGRAM

Greetings CASI

As part of our continuing quest to improve program quality for CASI cooks, the Friends of CASI sponsors will band together to underwrite the cost of TICC awards. This group of sponsors will now be responsible for the cast metal TICC trophies, the TICC winner jackets, and a new award to be initiated this year: TICC winner chairs. These chairs will be embroidered with the place and category of the recipient and hopefully promote CASI and TICC to all who see them. In addition, all proceeds received over the cost of these items will be used toward a Friends of CASI Scholarship.

I am seeking additional participants for this group. Sponsor benefits will include:
Embroidered sponsor shirt
Recognition Plaque
Recognition on national CASI poster
Promotion on a special monthly page in the Terlingua Trails
Group photo with the TICC first place trophy
Introduction at GP meeting and all sponsor functions

Our goal is $11,500.00 annually. We are already over half way there and excited about the prospects. This group will be a support group for CASI and seek ways to recognize the winners. The cost to join is not prohibitive and you can see your dollars at work. You can join as a business, individual, or group. This is a good and worthwhile opportunity.

Call or email me for details. I look forward to hearing from you.
