Business
Partners
The start of each
academic year brings
anticipation of
another thrilling season of UVa-Wise Highland
Cavalier athletics. The excitement surrounding
the magnificent 78,000 square feet David J. Prior
Convocation Center, not to mention impressive Carl
Smith Football Stadium, Jim Humphrey’s Tennis
Complex, Burchell Stallard Baseball Field and the
Cavalier Softball Field attracts thousands to campus
each year.
Along with fans attending sporting events
come opportunities for local and regional businesses
and organizations to reach a broader base of
customers to fill their rooms, eat in their restaurants,
buy their gas, and shop in their stores. The
economic impact of the College and those attending
its many events is important to the livelihood of the
surrounding communities and region.
A wealth of marketing opportunities are
available through special athletic sponsorships. If
not already a CAVS Athletic Partner, we encourage
you to take advantage of the numerous possibilities
to market your business or organization to the tens
of thousands of local and regional fans who frequent
the college’s athletic events and patronize local
businesses. If currently a sponsor, we encourage you
to consider additional options.
Since athletics is not funded by the
Commonwealth, private support is critical and your
sponsorship ensures the continued success of our
athletic programs and our deserving student
athletes.
Please see levels and benefits for the 20162017 (July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2017)
academic year.
