Zimmer Marketing to Launch Youth Sports Athlete of The Week Initiative

Posted by Brett James on September 10, 2024 at 7:00 AM
Zimmer Marketing is pleased to announce that we will launch a new athlete of the week program in our local high school sports coverage! This will further support our values of spotlighting local news, helping build strong communities, and supporting youth sports.

Partner with Us As an Athlete of the Week Sponsor

Zimmer Marketing is seeking corporate sponsors for this 9-month-long Athlete of the Week campaign. We are excited to share this opportunity to boost local youth athletics.

Athlete of the Week and Game of the Week   Program Details
  • Each sponsor will have a presence in the Boys and Girls Athlete of the Week and Game of the Week features on-air and online.
  • On-air spots will appear on each of our six radio stations in the Four States on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
  • Each Boy and Girls Athlete of the Week spot will accompany a web story on Zimmer Radio websites.

Why You Should Consider Becoming A Youth Sports Sponsor

Sponsoring youth sports is a good way for businesses to build a positive brand image while giving back to the community. By supporting local student-athletes, your business can increase visibility and foster goodwill among families and community members passionate about youth sports. This sponsorship is a positive way of engaging with the public and establishes a connection with future customers by demonstrating a commitment to community growth and youth development.

Youth athletics greatly benefit girls and boys, helping them develop essential life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. Participation in sports promotes physical fitness, mental well-being, and social development, allowing young athletes to form friendships and learn valuable lessons in leadership and cooperation. These experiences lay the foundation for lifelong healthy habits and personal growth, contributing to their success on and off the field.

Supporting local youth sports coverage is an excellent way to encourage more attention and funding for local teams. Additionally, coverage of players and games improves student-athletes' ability to stand out and be recognized for their achievements. That, in turn, can lead to scholarships and opportunities for the boys and girls playing sports in our communities.
