Why Sponsor MVE

Your brand appears where local families actually are: weekend tournaments, gyms across the Mohawk Valley, and our growing Instagram and TikTok audience. Every sponsorship directly lowers player fees so no kid is turned away for cost.

Because MVE is a certified 501(c)(3) non-profit, sponsorships are tax-deductible — your marketing dollars double as a charitable contribution.

From $1,500 per event — one title sponsor per tournament.

Where does the money go?

Directly to the athletes: lower registration fees, uniforms, gym time, tournament entries, and travel. 100% goes to athletes and coaches.

Can we build a custom package?

Absolutely. Product donations, scholarship funds for individual players, concession partnerships — reach out and we'll design something that fits your budget and goals.

When does the season run?

Our AAU season runs spring through summer, with tryouts in the winter and MVE-hosted tournaments in spring. Sponsoring early maximizes your visibility.
