BECOME A SPONSOR—2024-2025

• Our sponsors are very valuable to us and we encourage all our members to patronize them and to show their appreciation for the sponsor’s support of pickleball. And because we are a 501(c)3 public charity, all sponsorships to PPPA are tax deductible! All sponsorships are for one full year and we ensure that all of our sponsors receive wide recognition and appreciation during our tournaments, both on our website and in our monthly e-mail blasts to our members.

• Your tax-exempt donation will be used to support the mission of PPPA as we promote the sport of pickleball in the Colorado Springs area and surrounding region.  We continue in our partnership with the Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services to make infrastructure improvements for the 15 dedicated pickleball courts at Monument Valley Park as well as needed improvements at other parks with pickleball/tennis courts throughout our beautiful city. Thanks to our generous Sponsors and Grant organizations, PPPA and the El Paso County Parks Department dedicated 12 more dedicated courts at our newest local Pickleball venue at Bear Creek Regional Park in spring 2021. This venue hosted our legacy Pikes Peak or Bust regional tournament in fall of that year.  Monument Valley Park was the location of our Colorado Pickleball Open—Pikes Peak or Bust tournament in September 2022 and August 2023 and is our PPPA annual partnered event for the future with the US Senior Pickleball (USSP) Association. These events offer a perfect public venue to advertise our Sponsor’s logo banners along with public recognition during the tournament and other annual events.  Sponsorship funding will directly support our next major partnership with the City for a new 20-court Pickleball venue at Coleman Community Park in 2025.

• Becoming a PPPA sponsor provides a wonderful marketing opportunity for companies wanting to align with an exciting sport and an active and fun group of people that is constantly growing! PPPA has now reached 1350 local members, ranging in age from our youngest at age 6 to our oldest at 93 years young! We are the largest organized and nationally recognized Pickleball association in Colorado thanks to the leadership and dedication of our Board of Directors and Committees. Supported by our selfless volunteers and amazing membership, our nonprofit organization has become a nationally recognized example and template for success.  Over the last years, we have mentored almost 40 other start-up Pickleball organizations across the country—from Virginia to Texas to California and even Alaska.    

• PPPA has five basic sponsorship levels, plus our uniquely customized PEAK sponsorship level. See the image below to review our sponsorship levels and benefits. Please make Sponsorship checks payable to the Pikes Peak Pickleball Association nonprofit in care of our PPPA Treasurer, Jeffrey Jensen and mail to 150 Beckwith Drive, Colorado Springs 80906. Jeff will provide a return receipt acknowledging your tax-exempt donation.
