Adopt A School

The Saginaw Spirit Adopt-a-School program is an exciting partnership between businesses and mid-Michigan area schools.  Schools are adopted by the sponsor, and get eight (8) season tickets to be given to students for academic or athletic achievement.  The mid-Michigan area has over 200 elementary and secondary schools available for adoption.

The sponsoring company receives two (2) tickets for employee or client use as part of an Adopt-a-School sponsorship!

Sponsoring companies may be eligible for tax incentives by claiming the sponsorship at the end of the tax year.  Consult your personal tax advisor for details.

Saginaw Spirit Adopt-a-School sponsorship is available for only $2,949.00 and includes ten (10) Saginaw Spirit Season Tickets, eight (8) Upper Level tickets to be donated to the adopted school and two (2) upper level tickets for the sponsor.  A Lower Level ticket upgrade is available for $75.00 per seat and $125 per seat for Executive Level for the sponsor tickets.

Companies also receive their name on the season tickets (if sponsorship processed by October 1, 2009), website recognition on SaginawSpirit.com, recognition on the center ice videoboard at every Spirit home game, company name on a special Adopt-a-School walkway dasher located in the arena.

Companies interested in participating in the Saginaw Spirit Adopt-a-School program can contact Kae Pankow, Director of Corporate and Group Sales, at 989-497-7747 or kpankow@saginawspirit.com

If your school is interested in being adopted, please contact Kae Pankow, Director of Corporate and Group Sales, at 989-497-7747 or kpankow@saginawspirit.com
