5. High School Sports Landscape
NFP Sports’ mission is to team up with preferred partners (like your company) in
local communities around the country to save high school sports from
devastating financial challenges
Recent research shows that while high school sports are still a critical part of
American culture, few high school programs are finding effective ways to cope
with budget cuts/higher program costs. Consider the following:
— More kids are playing - Participation in high school sports increased for the 24th
consecutive year in 2012-13 and passed the 7.7 million mark for the first time*
— Sports cultivate future leaders – Research shows that schools with strong
athletic programs have higher test scores and lower dropout rates
— But high school sports programs need our help – Billions have been cut from
youth sports programs in recent years and it is predicted that by 202, 27% of US
Public Schools will not offer interscholastic sports programs
* According to the annual High School Athletics Participation Survey conducted by
the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS).

8. Why is NFP Sports a Fit for You?
We are more than confident our program will work for any local retail business
owner. We have already put ourVIP program to work for dozens of local businesses,
helping them increase sales opportunities and establish their business as a
community fixture. Here’s what two McDonald’s owners and one BuffaloWild
Wings owner had to say about NFP Sports:
“I was born into a McDonald’s family and my father taught me about the value of community-
driven marketing and sales programs from the very beginning. So,when NFP Sports came to us
in 2010 with an offer to join their innovative and affordable discount card program that
benefits local high school sports,we were eager to participate. Ever since we signed on,the
NFP Sports program proved to be a critical component of our robust community outreach
program as it allows us to reach and influence local high school students and their families.
I would highly recommend the NFP Sports program to any business owner who is interested in
supporting local high schools and building credibility in their community”
- Joe LaBianca, Owner/Operator of six McDonald’s franchise locations
in Southeast CT

9. Why is NFP Sports a Fit for You?
“I have spent my entire career in the restaurant business and I can honestly say that
no marketing or sales program I’ve seen outperforms NFP Sports when it comes to
generating brand awareness within local communities,specifically within high
schools. As a sports restaurant,the NFP Sports program gives us the perfect
opportunity to give back to some of our most loyal guests – local coaches,youth
athletes,and the families who support them.
As someone who has a personal connection to helping the kids in our community,I
can say I am thrilled to be working with NFP Sports to make a difference in their
lives. Thanks goes out to James and his team for busting their tail to deliver a
powerful ROI that far exceeds discount redemption rates.”
- Jay Fisher, Director of Operations/Partner for three
Connecticut-based BuffaloWildWings locations

10. Why is NFP Sports a Fit for You?
“After working with JamesThomson and the NFP Sports team for more than 15
years,I can say that I will never work with a different high school fundraising
partner. This is a huge win-win for us as a participant in the low-cost NFP Sports
program. First,the program itself it excellent – it teaches kids valuable life skills
and allows them to generate significant funds for their sports teams. Further,it
allows us to get a valuable ongoing promotion in the hands of local customers with
whom we want to establish long term,loyal relationships. We know the program is
working because we see the cards coming in to our restaurants all the time. In
addition,the kids selling the discount offers bring their families and sports teams
into the restaurant. It is impossible to ignore the impact the NFP Sports program
has had on our business – not just from a sales perspective,but also from a
community outreach perspective.”
- SandyTotten, Director of Operations for ten McDonald’s
locations in Connecticut
