2018 How to Sponsor

The Scott Tokessy Memorial Gold Glove Tournament was established in 1996 in memory of Scott Tokessy, a twelve year-old boy who died suddenly of an irregular heartbeat, after hitting a home run for his house league team, in May of that year. The spirit of the tournament is to honour the game that Scott loved playing, and to help CHEO fund critical research to help other kids like Scott.

Every year the tournament attracts over 50 teams from rookie to junior level (over half local to Ottawa) to play in what has developed into one of the premier Little League Baseball Tournaments in the Province of Ontario and is considered to be Canada’s Largest Little League Baseball Tournament for Charity

The 2017 tournament attracted 50 teams and involved over 800 participants including players and coaches. With generous corporate support, we were able to raise $40,000.00- this brought the total donation to CHEO to $380,000.00 since the tournament’s inception. The exposure for your business over the course of the weekend is estimated to over 2000 people (including parents, coaches, players and volunteers).

In organizing such a tournament we are continuously looking for Corporate sponsorships.

  • Corporate Logo Ad $250 ( Logo in program, on website and one social media feature).
  • Raffle Prizes and/or Corporate Gifts are needed for our silent auction table (i.e.: sports tickets, sports equipment, spa gift certificates, gift baskets, bikes etc).

If you or your Corporation / Club are able to assist in any way, please contact the undersigned.

Please make your cheque payable to “Scott Tokessy Memorial Baseball Tournament”.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Paul Timmerman
Tournament Director
