Hello -

We are writing to inquire about a possible sponsorship opportunity for you and your company involving the Summer Solstice Shootout and the Space Needle Shootout Lacrosse Tournament series. You and your company have been identified specifically because you have been or are currently a supporter of the local lacrosse community. This year’s events will once again be run by the Washington Lacrosse Foundation (WLF), which includes Team Washington and with the following mission in mind:

The Washington Lacrosse Foundation (WLF) is a 501c3 non-profit organization committed to the growth of high quality lacrosse in the state of Washingtonand to providing opportunities for further exposure to local area players. Thepillars of lacrosse in Washington are built upon community-based programs. All Washington Lacrosse Foundation activities are setup in collaboration with and to supplement these local community programs and without conflict.

Both of these tournaments are held at the Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila in June and December respectively. Both of these tournaments cater to teams from around the Pacific Northwest including Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana & British Columbia (Vancouver Island, the mainland and the interior). The Space Needle Shootout is one of the strongest and largest tournaments on the west coast with over 70 teams in attendance including over 1500 players and their families. The 2nd annual Summer Solstice Tournament will field over 54 high school and youth teams on one weekend. This tournament series is the number one fundraiser for players who participate on one of the six teams that make up Team Washington every summer. We use these funds to help decrease theoverall cost for summer recruiting travel as well as make potential scholarships available.
