We agree on the amount, term, recognition and update schedule before committing. Website, social, banner and apparel opportunities depend on availability, permissions and production costs. No audience size or placement is guaranteed in advance.
Start a conversation about meets, travel, uniforms, gear or athlete support. The team will confirm current costs and what your contribution can cover.
