Packages To Fit Any Budget

The Stamford Spartans are proud to offer a range of sponsorship packages designed to fit any budget.

Whether you’re a local business looking for community exposure or a larger partner eager to make a big impact, there’s a level that’s right for you.

For many young athletes, tackle football is more than a game—it’s where they learn discipline, teamwork, and confidence. But for some families, the cost of participation puts that opportunity out of reach.

Sponsorships ensure no child is left on the sidelines. They cover expenses so every player can wear their Spartans jersey with pride, learn life lessons, and build lasting friendships.

When you sponsor a player, you’re investing not just in football—but in kids, families, and the strength of our community.

Please consider supporting the Stamford Spartans Youth Program.

Why Sponsorships Matter

Appreciation for Stamford Friends and Community

We wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to the Stamford friends and community for your ongoing support and encouragement. Your dedication strengthens our initiatives and helps us create meaningful opportunities for our participants.

The generosity and involvement of our community are central to our success. Together, we continue to build an environment founded on collaboration, respect, and shared purpose.

Thank you for standing with us and for being an indispensable part of our mission.

Thank You to the Mickey Lione Jr. Fund

The Stamford Spartans family is deeply grateful to the Mickey Lione Jr. Fund for their generous support. Because of this gift, families who might not have been able to afford youth tackle football were given the opportunity to participate, ensuring that every child had the chance to wear a Spartans jersey, step onto the field with pride, and experience the life lessons that come with the game.

For many of our players and families, this support lifted a significant burden and opened the door to teamwork, mentorship, and community. It allowed young athletes to grow in confidence, build lasting friendships, and learn the values of discipline and perseverance.

The vision and mission of the Mickey Lione Jr. Fund—to perpetuate a meaningful memorial to Mickey, who by his instruction and example taught and encouraged young people to strive for personal excellence and to use their strengths to make a positive impact on their peers, their community, and the world around them—shines brightly through this contribution.

Your generosity has made a lasting difference, not only for our players today but for the future of our program and community. On behalf of our athletes, families, and coaches: thank you for helping us carry Mickey’s legacy forward.

Thank You to the Umbrella Club

The Stamford Spartans proudly recognize and deeply appreciate the Umbrella Club for their generous support of our athletes and families. Your commitment to helping those in need has had a direct and meaningful impact, ensuring that more children in our community have the opportunity to play tackle football, grow in character, and experience the bonds of teamwork and mentorship.

The Umbrella Club is a local, community-based charity that truly cares—and your actions speak louder than words. You volunteer your time and talents to raise funds, run events, and personally connect with the people you support. Because you handle everything yourselves, an extraordinary 90% of every dollar raised goes directly to programs—an achievement few charities can claim.

What makes your mission so powerful is the respect you show for human dignity and your belief that sometimes a quiet helping hand can make all the difference in the world. Equally inspiring is your long-term commitment to families—walking beside them not just in a moment of need, but over time, providing ongoing support that helps them truly thrive.

On behalf of the Stamford Spartans community—our players, parents, and coaches—thank you for standing with us and helping to shape brighter futures for our youth.

Thank You to the First Down Club

The Stamford Spartans proudly thank the First Down Club for their dedication and support of youth football in our city. Their generosity and involvement have made a lasting impact on our players and program.

This season, the First Down Club covered the cost to line our grass field at Turn of River School, ensuring a safe, well-prepared place for practice and games. They have also donated equipment and volunteered as coaches, sharing their knowledge, mentorship, and passion for the game.

The Club runs a highly successful flag football program for grades 2–6, preparing young athletes for tackle football while fostering a fun, competitive, and inclusive environment. By giving kids this early foundation, they are building the next generation of Stamford football players.

Their mission says it best: The First Down Club consists of former players, coaches, alumni, and friends of SCHS/TCHS Football whose mission is to cultivate a love of the game for young people in Stamford. The Club supports youth football, promoting a positive, competitive, and inclusive atmosphere while developing sportsmanship, leadership, and responsibility consistent with the standards of SCHS/TCHS Crusader Football.

Run entirely by volunteers, the First Down Club gives their time, energy, and expertise to ensure youth football thrives. We are grateful for all they do and look forward to continuing our partnership for many seasons to come.

Thank You to Zody’s

The Stamford Spartans are grateful to Zody’s for sponsoring a player in our football program. Because of your generosity, a young athlete can step onto the field, grow in confidence, and experience the pride and camaraderie of being part of a team.

Your support goes beyond the game—it gives this player the chance to learn teamwork, perseverance, and leadership while showing them that their community believes in them.

Thank you, Zody’s, for helping make the dream of playing football a reality and leaving a lasting impact on our athletes and families.

With Gratitude to Stamford Forge

The Stamford Spartans extend our sincere appreciation to Stamford Forge for generously sponsoring a student-athlete in our football program. Through this support, one of our players is able to participate fully in the season, gaining invaluable experiences both on and off the field.

This contribution does more than fund participation—it fosters personal growth, resilience, and leadership, while reinforcing the message that our community stands firmly behind its youth.

We thank Stamford Forge for their commitment to our program and for making a meaningful difference in the lives of our athletes and their families.
