Greater Lansing Amateur Hockey Association

P.O. Box 1238

East Lansing, MI 48826

The kids will be back in school soon and we will be entering another ice hockey season. The Greater Lansing Amateur Hockey Association is an amateur hockey community built on opportunity, teamwork and tradition and has been serving the Lansing community since 1956. Our association provides a learning environment that teaches how the game is played for fun. We offer playing opportunities for competitive, development, and recreation players skating on teams participating in Little Caesars Amateur Hockey League, and the Adray Community Hockey League.

Our focus is youth and education, our objective is to provide experience cherished for a lifetime. Participation in GLAHA programs translate to a lot of fun and educational opportunities through scholarships provided by generous and selfless businesses throughout Michigan. As a sponsor you support goals of providing youth with an opportunity to become contributing members of a team effort, to develop self-confidence, and to experience a sense of personal achievement. These goals are achieved in an atmosphere of cooperation and fun. Our future lies with our youth and GLAHA understands the role it plays in helping young athletes develop responsible attitudes, not only in sports but also in life.

This is the perfect time to think about being a GLAHA Sponsor forthis season and every season seems to bring new challenges. In the past we experienced the closing of the Lansing Ice Arena and along with it many fond memories. At the same time, we are fortunate to have three partners providing ice facilities supporting programs in Lansing: Suburban Ice East Lansing, Munn Ice Arena, and the Summit in Dimondale. The down side, if there is one, is that ice hockey is an expensive sport dependent upon contributions that allow more players to participate. This makes your participation as a sponsor that much more important every year. This year proves especially challenging by events we face as a nation, and we remain committed to ensuring our programs are available to the community; to do this we need your support.

Sponsors receive exposure and recognition through association sponsored events and programs; the extent of exposure and recognition is an element you control by indicating your preference on the reverse of this letter. Some contributors choose to remain anonymous and we respect and protect that preference.

GLAHA is a non-profit volunteer organization with 501(c)(3) tax status which may allow your contribution to be tax deductible; please check with your tax accountant for details. What a fantastic way for you to advertise your business and receive the joy and satisfaction of assisting our youth with opportunities in social and athletic development, all made possible through your generosity. On behalf of our children, families, volunteer coaches, managers, and coordinators who give so much of their time to make our program a success, we would like to thank youin advance for your support and interest in making the sport of ice hockey more affordable for the Lansing community. To participate as a GLAHA sponsor, please complete the information on the reverse side of this form and return by December 27th to qualify for that year’s tax deduction. Sponsorship money will be accepted anytime but must be received by December 27th for the current calendar year tax returns.
