Sponsorship Information
The Wounded and Recovering Fund was set up by Greenville County Deputies after several serious Line of Duty injuries in the past years. These serious injuries caused deputies and officers to experience financial hardships after the incident due to the loss of work, secondary employment, medical bills etc. We have helped many officers over the last eleven years and paid over $75,000 to dozens upon dozens of officers and deputies over the years helping even some keep their house. The primary goal of the Wounded and Recovering Fund is to establish permanent fundraising capabilities to provide immediate financial assistance. As the WAR Fund continues to grow and expand, we now cover and support 11 agencies in Upstate South Carolina.
As match director for this annual event and one of the founding board members I am constantly seeking to retain sponsorships as well as acquire new sponsorships in the form of both funds and or goods to assist in raising money for the cause through match raffle entry, door prizes, and side matches. Each year the match grows and 100% of the proceeds raised go to the 501c3 nonprofit as all board members serve on a volunteer basis. We are conservatively expecting over 250 shooters this year as last year had 231 in attendance with over 60 staff members. We expect it to continue to grow in the years to come as it has since inception. I have included a few additional details about the charity as well as a hyperlink for both our website and Facebook page.
The 11th Annual WAR match will be held the weekend of October 14th, 2023 at The Clinton House Plantation with dinner served at the awards banquet on the 14th at which your welcome to attend. Match attendance has grown yearly with the help of shooters and sponsors alike. Shooters will have the option to enter two handgun classes (Limited or Open) as well as PCC (Pistol Caliber Carbine) class. Feel free to show up and shoot the side match guns and ammo.
As a match sponsor your company name and or logo will be displayed in numerous places to include the match website, Facebook page, match booklet, t-shirt. Additionally, sponsor banners, signs, swag, etc. are allowed and preferred. There will be a variety of commercial videos for Facebook teaser and social media produced by an incredible media and marketing group who offers their services that we could not afford otherwise. I would like to incorporate in those videos our title sponsors whether it be a quick message of what to look forward to seeing from the demo or otherwise.
Thank you for your time and support of law enforcement everywhere in these trying times.
