We are in the process of obtaining advertisements for our 2007 season Football Program publication. The ads that you sell will be placed in the regular season program for all five of our varsity home games. Selling ad space is Irvine Footballs “MAIN & MOST IMPORTANT FUNDRAISER”. Having players & parents bring in NEW ADS is vital to the success of our quality football program.

Therefore, the Pigskin Club is requesting your fund-raising support by asking each IHS VARSITY & JV LEVEL
FOOTBALL PLAYER to be responsible for selling a minimum of two (2) business cards ads or $150 in “NEW” business advertisement for our 2007 program publication. We highly encourage players to go “ABOVE & BEYOND” the minimum required to sell ad space. These funds are the main foundation of our 2007 seasons budget. Additionally, we will AWARD PRIZES to the top three (3) football player’s who bring in the highest advertising sales by the deadline date, which is Saturday, June 30th, 2007 (No exceptions)

The “FRESHMAN PLAYERS” are only responsible to bring in one (1) business card ad or $75.00 in new ad sales, that may either business or a personal family support message.

The ad space rates, contact/mailing information, and mechanical ad sizes are listed on the attached advertising forms provided for your convenience. All sponsors information is required to be completed on each form. Listing the player’s name in the space provided will provide proper credit to your son for bringing in the ad. Duplicate forms as necessary. Once your player has obtained their advertisements We ask that you submit the “original” ad insertion order form, CAMERA -READY ARTWORK and PAYMENT IN FULL and must be in by the deadline date below.

DEADLINE: SATURDAY JUNE 30, 2007 (5 pm) • No exceptions!
Helpful hints:
• For business ads the player should check with local businesses or restaurants that you or your family frequent, ask your doctors/colleagues, and or dentists, hairstylist, etc. It is important that you speak with the owner, general manager and/or marketing director, especially since they are the main decision makers when it comes to placing advertisements.
• Also, for business ads check with your parent(s) or relatives place of employment.
• Personal ads may be from the parents or families to their player or to the team
• Past program books are a great tool for players to take with them when approaching businesses for an ad. This gives the “potential advertiser” an opportunity to see what type of publication their ad will appear in and the quality they can expect from us in reproducing their ad.

Thank you for supporting the IHS 2007 Vaquero Football Season!
