2026 Michael Urraro & Eddie Buggs Sponsorship Application and Agreement

Michael Urraro & Eddie Buggs Sponsorship Application and Agreement
Tribute

This sponsorship was established in honor of Coach Michael Urraro & Player Eddie Buggs to recognize their extraordinary commitment to CYFA and the sport of football. They both exemplified the values of dedication, leadership, and perseverance, inspiring countless individuals throughout their time at Storms. This sponsorship aims to continue their legacy by providing financial support to deserving students who share a passion for the sport that they both loved.

Purpose

Our Sponsorship fund is dedicated to ensuring that every young athlete has the opportunity to play, regardless of financial circumstances. We believe that sports should be accessible to all, fostering personal growth, teamwork, and resilience. To support families facing financial stress, we waive costs associated with registration fees, allowing children to pursue their athletic passions without the burden of fees. This initiative empowers athletes to thrive in a supportive environment, promoting both physical and emotional well-being. Together, we can create a community where every child has the chance to excel in sports.

Sponsorship Funding Award

We have dedicated a portion of our budget to provide a limited number of sponsorships to potential participants. Once approved, all sponsorship recipients will be required to pay for cost of cloth. Payment plans can be arranged. The sponsorship, if awarded, will cover the remaining registration fees. Your athlete’s spot on a team roster will not be secured until your application is approved and a deposit is paid.

Sponsorship Commitment

In applying for a sponsorship, you are agreeing that if approved, you will pay the required deposit as explained above, volunteer a minimum of one 2-hour shift per home game which is to be scheduled with your athletes' Team Mom (your shifts will not interfere with your athletes' game, as we understand the importance of watching your athlete(s) participate). You are also agreeing to participate in at least two fundraising opportunities which are to be coordinated and documented with our Fundraising Coordinator. Failure to complete said required volunteer and fundraising commitments will result in the ineligibility for sponsorship opportunities in the future.

Criteria

Athletic Participation: Must be actively demonstrating commitment through consistent attendance at practices and games/competitions.

Academic Performance: Minimum GPA requirement of a 2.5 or higher to ensure a balanced commitment to academics and athletics.

Commitment to the Program: Agreement to adhere to program policies and expectations, including participation in training, events, and community outreach initiatives.

Character and Sportsmanship: A recommendation letter from a coach, teacher, or community member highlighting the applicant's character, teamwork, and sportsmanship.

Application Review

Sponsorship applications will not be reviewed until all paperwork has been submitted. All applications will be reviewed by the Storms Executive Board and you will be notified of the decision via email. In the event you are not granted a sponsorship, we will provide potential additional resources, but we can make no guarantees as to your eligibility for these programs.
