Introduction

Thank you for considering sponsoring Mission Viejo Cowboys Football & Cheer! The Cowboys are a

chapter-member of Orange County Junior All American Conference (OCJAAF). The Orange County Junior

All American Conference is dedicated to the growth and safety of our youth. We instill excellence

through education, philanthropy, civic responsibility, community service, volunteerism and teaching

family values. These are the stepping stones that lead our youth to a positive and productive future.

With over 4,400 youth, both boys and girls, between the ages of 5-14 years old, OCJAAF serves over 24

Chapters (city) members in the counties serving Los Angeles, Orange County and Riverside. It is because

of our outstanding leadership, our excellent programs of football and cheerleading, and especially our

diversity that makes us THE premiere youth football and cheer organization throughout Southern

California. We continue to grow and further develop our program and youth talent to best serve our

community – our youth deserve the best, safest environment to provide the fundamental nurturing

experience for future success in both sports AND in life!

Benefits To Sponsorship

There are several benefits to sponsoring our team’s activities:

Be involved in one of the leading youth football & cheerleading organizations in the Nation!

The Mission Viejo Cowboys celebrates 33 years of excellence in Football & Cheer in 2015! The

Cowboys have been the stepping stone for countess football players and cheerleaders with high

aspirations, big dreams, and a passion for the sport of the game – many of whom have

continued their careers in both the NCAA and the NFL.

Position your organization with an attractive demographic and support our local youth to help

them to continue their commitment to sports & recreation. Statistics show that kids who are

involved in sports while in high school are more likely to experience academic success and

graduate from high school. Additionally, children that are involved in sports are less likely to

take drugs or smoke because they realize the impact that these destructive activities can have

upon their performance.

“The evidence supporting sports participation for young people is

overwhelming…It has the power to combat everything from racism to low self-

image, to the high-school drop-out rate.”

- Sue Castle, Executive Producer of PBS Sports: “Get in the Game”

Message from our President

Dear Sponsor,

Thank you for your interest in supporting our youth football and cheer program. We are

excited about celebrating 33 years serving the youth of Mission Viejo and are looking

forward to an exciting year for our players, parents and volunteers who are committed to

representing our organization and the City of Mission Viejo and surrounding communities.

Mission Viejo Youth Football is a non-profit organization dependent on registration fees,

fundraising programs, and sponsors who generously support the youth of our community.

The Cowboys are administered by numerous volunteers who dedicate countless hours to

providing the best possible programs for its participants.

Your sponsorship contribution would provide a wide range of benefits to our chapter,

including but not limited to the costs of team uniforms, equipment, costs associated with

fields and games, bowl games and competitions, awards for academic achievement and

player recognition. This is a wonderful opportunity to positively affect the lives of children

who live in our community.

The Mission Viejo Cowboys are one of the leading youth football & cheer programs in the

Nation – and we invite you to join as a sponsor as we celebrate over 33 years of Excellence,

together!

Please take a few minutes to review the material contained in this sponsorship package to

learn more about the benefits of our sponsorship opportunity. Thank you in advance for your

time and consideration!

Sincerely,

Dereck Curtis
