3) A plug in their TV show
IUIC is excited to announce the launching of its very own bi-weekly television show, Rollernews Weekly, debuting on March 27, 2006. This show will be seen by rollers and the public throughout Idaho and Utah. All sponsors will be plugged.
4) A plug in 20801 Rolling Magazine

5) A DVD of the Circuit
IUIC wants its sponsors to see and enjoy what they have helped create, to know how much they mean to the IUIC and the rollerbladers. Without great sponsors, great and enjoyable events dont happen. A professional and exciting DVD of each competition will be made. Youll get one.
What we need:
Every organization needs a number of things and as the Utah/Idaho circuit heats up, and our business plan assures that it will IUIC needs will grow as well. But right now, what is needed the most are awards and prizes. We want to be able to hand out as many as possible, not just trophies for the big winners, but a little something for everybody else, especially for the new, younger skaters. We want every participant to leave the competitions happy and excited about rollerblading, so that theyll keep their chin up, keep trying, and bring their friends and family next time around.
You get the idea. A little support goes a long way.
Yet, we have bigger plans. Skate parks, a major community investment, dot the land. Its time for someone to catch the vision of their potential for good. We have that vision, a transformational view of what can be under the leadership of the right people:
local and national competitions
rollerblading workshops run by the best in the business
scholarship funds
more aggressive marketing to the media, especially local media
multi-media presentations of events
public-private partnerships to help improve and preserve facilities
But more about that later.
We start here today inviting you to join with the Utah Idaho Inline Circuit to help make a difference in the lives of our youth, in your community and ours.
Please pick up your phone, or fire off an email to us now.
