Greetings from the Ted Hellier Laxfest Committee!
We are writing to you in the hopes that you will consider becoming a sponsor for the 2024 Ted Hellier Lacrosse Festival, on June 1, 2024,
in South Portland, Maine.
The Ted Hellier Lacrosse Festival, known commonly as Laxfest, is Maine's Premiere lacrosse festival, where emphasis is placed on team play, fun and the enjoyment of “the fastest game on two feet”! This festival celebrates competition, sportsmanship, the spirit of lacrosse and love of the game.
Laxfest draws over 50 lacrosse teams from all over the state of Maine and brings an estimated 3,000 people to South Portland. Sponsorship opportunities include logo placement on banners, field signs and t-shirts.
Run by the Ted Hellier Community Lacrosse Fund, part of our vision is growing the game of lacrosse here in Maine, while making the sport accessible to those who wish to participate. All profits from the festival go towards supporting the boys and girls lacrosse programs in South Portland, and the Ted Hellier Community Lacrosse Fund.
The Ted Hellier Community Lacrosse Fund (THCLF), is a 501-3C charitable organization dedicated to making positive contributions to our community through the sponsorship of youth/teen sports, and providing heat assistance and other charitable donations to those in need in our community, in addition to providing high school seniors with annual scholarships. Named after local lacrosse coach, Ted Hellier, this organization seeks to support and enrich a community that gave so much to Ted’s family during his battle with cancer.
The longevity of Laxfest is a testament to our loyal sponsors and incredible volunteers, who tirelessly and repeatedly give their time, energy and heart to make sure the event is a success. As we approach our eleventh festival, we are fortunate to have the support of such an incredible network of supporters and volunteers and we are excited to be back, planning another great festival.
This journey is amazing and we are so happy to have you be a part of it. There are not enough words to express the love and gratitude we have for all who participate in small or in big ways. Over the years it has been YOU who make this festival such a success.
We hope you will consider supporting the Ted Hellier Laxfest. Attached is our sponsorship information for your consideration.
Warmly,
Susan Hellier and the Ted Hellier Laxfest committee
