The 2007 COTO tournament at Pease Park in Austin is coming up rapidly (less than a month, yikes!). We are still seeking sponsors, so if you or someone you know or some business you know of would be able to sponsor, we�d really appreciate it. We need cash sponsorship, but we could also use merchandise and/or gift certificate sponsorship too.
Our sponsor request letter is below. Please help out Waterloo Disc Golf Club and E.D.G.E. by printing it out, taking it around, and asking folks about sponsoring. Remember, the worst anyone can do is say �no�.
Also, players don�t forget: you can register for COTO online at www.titledisc.com. (http://www.titledisc.com.) This tournament usually fills up with 130-140 players, so don�t wait until the last minute.
Thanks!

Dear Sponsor,
The Waterloo Disc Golf Club is proud to announce that it is hosting the 17th Annual Capital of Texas Open at Pease Park in Austin, Texas. This distinguished disc golf tournament is one of the longest running tournaments in Texas. The dates are set for May 19-20, 2007, and this year�s event will again benefit the Educational Disc Golf Experience (E.D.G.E.) as well as our local disc golf community through the Waterloo Disc Golf Club.
E.D.G.E. is an outstanding non-profit, charitable organization that provides disc golf equipment and curriculum to 3rd through 12th graders across the country. It was developed by a Two-time World Champion disc golfer and educational specialists to give schools and youth organization leaders a basis for teaching a fun, easy-to-learn, lifetime sport to young people. For more information on the E.D.G.E. program visit their website at www.edgediscgolf.org (http://www.edgediscgolf.org) .
The Waterloo Disc Golf Club itself is a non-profit civic organization. We are here not only to support and promote the sport, but we are also all about giving back to the community. Please visit us at www.austindiscgolf.org (http://www.austindiscgolf.org) . Thanks to past sponsorship and hard work by our volunteers, we have donated in excess of $55,000 to Ronald McDonald House, Capital Area Food Bank, E.D.G.E., Lance Armstrong Foundation, Downs Syndrome Association of Central Texas, and the Austin Parks Foundation over the last eight years. Also, thanks in part to our great sponsors of the 2005 tournament, the E.D.G.E. program has been implemented into a local school here in Central Texas. Won�t you please help enhance our local parks and our children�s education through E.D.G.E. by being a sponsor of this wonderful tournament? Sponsorship can be in the form of cash, merchandise, or a combination of the two. The different levels are:
� For a sponsorship of $200 or more: your company�s banners/signs on display in the park during the event, your logo on the official tournament shirt, your logo on the club web site, plus on a tee-box sign. This sign will be seen by all of the competitors each time that they play the course. Your name will also be added to the Sponsor List that will be displayed at the course and distributed to the players, the general public, and the media.
� For a sponsorship of $100 - $199: your logo on the club web site, a tee-box sign, and Sponsor List.
� For a sponsorship of up to $99: your name on the web site and Sponsor List.
� Sponsorships of smaller amounts will greatly be appreciated as well. All sponsors will be put on the Sponsor list.
