[Fredslist] FW: Sponsorship Help - Broadway Show

[Sergio Fernandez de Cordova]

Folks:

 

Below is an email from a college buddy of mine who is opening up in Broadway his new sports comedy and parody musical called Chuckleball at the Snapple Theatre on Broadway and 50th street and he is running out of money and is looking for some corporate sponsors. 

 

Can Gotham help guide him in the right direction with access to sponsorship money? 

 

Unfortunately the people I know in advertising only focus on Outdoor Advertising and don't know anyone in the Sponsorship space.

 

Please let me know if you can help me guide him in the right direction.

 

A great weekend to all!

 

Best regards,

Hey Sergio,

HELP ME!!!

As you know, I am opening up Chuckleball, my unique sports comedy and parody musical revue at the Snapple Theater Center on Broadway and 50th Street in October.

Everything seems to be going our way.  We have a great location, the hottest time for the theater season, end of baseball and into football and basketball season, a great marketing strategy, I think we are gold! 

Here's my problem...I need $100,000 from a corporate sponsor who can commit ASAP.

Do you know of anyone in your circles who might be interested?  Since we are in a crunch, we would be willing to give the $200,000 worth of sponsorship perks for $100,000. 

I've pasted below into this e-mail what a sponsor would get.

Please pass on to any of your business associates who you think might be interested!

Thanks!
Jason
