[yyz]

Hey I was wondering if anyone was aware of a list of Big name sponsors such as addidas,redbull burger king, pepsi,etc.etc., that have previously sponsored or that have been asked to sponsor footbag related events. please respond

I'm not aware of such a pre-existing list, but to start it, I'll say Red Bull. All I got out of them was product, but I got a LOT of it. Check out their web site for info on it. it didn't take me more than a few minutes of looking around to find out about sponsorship.

Adidas Australia
Hazel Brothers
RACT
Nestle Australia are a continuing sponsor, and we're building a pretty good relationship with them (or at least with the marketing company they outsource to).

I don't think Adidas gave much sponsorship, like $300 and a few pairs of shoes I think. Hazel Brother had a large three day footbag promotion in Hobart. RACT paid for all the costs of putting on the 2007 Australian Footbag Championships.

Am I mistaken or do I remember a video seeing a rockstar ad behind some players? Was that just sponsorship for the tournament or am i way off?

Rockstar hooked up a LOT of energy drinks and hats and tshirts and stuff for US Open. Those energy drinks jump at opportunities to hand stuff out at these alternative sports events.

I'm sure I remember something about Snickers being involved with some footbaggers a few years back.
There's also been the Orange mobile phone thing - were they inolved in any events or was it just an ad campaign?
