Sponsor Drive Kickoff

The sponsor drive is starting early this year, and that’s not all that’s changed.  Read below for some of the exciting improvements to the sponsor program.
 

Individual and Business Options

In previous years, all sponsors submitted the same pledge form and information.  This year, in an effort to streamline the intake process, we’ve separated the pledge form into a Business and Individual/Family version. Both versions are available now on the OP Eagles Baseball website under Sponsors, or at the following two URLs:

More Sponsorship Levels

For businesses, we’ve also added exciting new options for sponsorship including an All-Star and MVP tier.  These feature the new outfield jumbo banners that will be visible throughout the game. This helps us add even more value for our most important sponsors.  MVP sponsors will receive Priority Placement of their banners on a first-come first-served basis.
 

Online Form Submission and Payments

Now you don’t need to worry about printing forms and making sure to hand in all the paperwork.  Save a tree and use the Online Form Submission.  Online pledges will receive an invoice which will allow them to easily submit their payments by mail or even online (specific details still pending).
 

Request by Email

Help your fans pledge their support to the program via email.  Using the Email Sponsor Toolkit, you can create custom URLs to include in your emails to friends, family, or business that will include your name to make sure your sponsors are credited to you.  Check it out.
 

Support for You and Your Sponsors

We’ve also created two new email addresses to answer any questions you or your sponsors might have.

sponsor@opeaglesbaseball.com is setup to provide simple answers to any question you might have.

banner@opeaglesbaseball.com provides direct access to the team that will help with banner creation and delivery coordination.
 

Good Luck 

With all the new options available, we fully expect this will be a record breaking year for the Oak Park Baseball fundraising efforts. Please contact us if you have any questions, and good luck getting those sponsors!

School Driver Certification Form

The following instructions will help you complete the School Driver Certification form required to drive students (even your own) to sanctioned school events.

  1. Download the current version of the form from the OPHS website by clicking here.
  2. Review the restrictions listed on the back off the form to ensure you meet the conditions for driving including:
    • Drivers must drive their own vehicle
    • Drivers must be over the age of 25
  3. Complete the form including all of the following information:
    • Your contact information
    • Your vehicle information
    • Your driver’s licence information and driving history
    • Your automobile insurance information (not your insurance card – the declaration page from your policy)
    • Your signature
  4. Make a copy of your drivers license.
  5. Make a copy of your automobile insurance policy.
  6. Have your student deliver the completed package with form, license, and policy to the Athletics Department.

Once approved, you will be notified and added to the list of people cleared to transport students to offsite events for which no district transportation is available.

Please Note: This does not authorize you to drive students home from events for which district sanctioned transportation has been arranged. For that, you must fill out the OPHS Transportation Waiver/Alternate Transportation Form.
