2018-19 Department of Athletics Corporate Partner Brochure

1

Dear Prospective Partner, I am truly honored to be back in Durango to continue my legacy as a Skyhawk. After playing basketball here at Fort Lewis College from 1977 to 1981, and having the opportunity to play basketball in Australia, I look forward to approaching the athletic department with both an athlete oriented and business experienced perspective. My education began at Fort Lewis College in 1977, and the positive learning environment as well as the values instilled in me from collegiate athletics allowed me to earn my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. This academic and sports related background fueled my passion to pursue the business side of sports which led me to earn my Master’s Degree in Sports Management from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. This education led me to a fulfilling career in Sports and Entertainment Marketing with the PGA TOUR based in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL and Anheuser-Busch Sports Marketing, in St. Louis, MO. With my personal interest in sports and my understanding of sports business along with relationships management, I believe that with the support of our athletics staff and our community, we will be able to guide the Athletic Department into a new and prosperous era that focuses on community engagement, student athlete success both academically and athletically, and the longevity of our great programs that help accelerate our students toward their future goals. We have an outstanding staff of coaches and administrators that cater to every need of our excellent student-athletes. Their success is supported by the generous contributions that are made to our Athletic Department and Programs, and we do everything in our power to ensure that their education is enhanced, not overtaken, by their collegiate athletic careers. I am eager to build our Athletic Department with a framework of success and support that is the standard of excellence within the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. Please join me and the dozens of Durango and La Plata County businesses who have supported and continue to support Fort Lewis College Athletics over the years. Please look through this packet and consider joining the community of Fort Lewis College supporters that make our exceptional school and those who attend so special. Feel free to give me a call at any time. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you. Barney Hinkle Director of Athletics 970-247-7224

THE BOOM IS BACK!

The cannon was donated to the FLC Community in the early 1970’s.

The original piece was sounded thousands of times over the years and retired in 2010 due to a crack in the barrel. The new cannon is a replica of the original. Countless memories involve this old noisemaker... You can sponsor at a variety of levels:

Cannon $2,500 per year for three years Crew $1000 per year Shot $50 per charge

Sponsor naming rights in All Skyhawk media opportunities.

The Cannon will be fired after each Fort Lewis College score!
