A&L Computer Software Limited Joins Forces With The
Town of Richmond Hill To Solicit Sponsorship For Local Teams
Richmond Hill, January 12th, 1997
PRESS RELEASE
A Richmond Hill company, A&L Computer Software Limited, has
teamed up with the Town of Richmond Hill in a joint campaign to
solicit corporate sponsorship for the financial support of Richmond
Hill junior sports teams and sporting activities.
A&L is currently one of the major sponsors of the Richmond
Hill Minor Atom A Stars hockey team, and came up with the idea
to try to facilitate the process by which teams and sports associations
acquire corporate sponsorship. A&L made a proposal to the
Mayor of Richmond Hill, William F. Bell, who liked the idea and
agreed to help develop the process.
Together, the Mayor and A&L Computer Software Limited have
invited the participation in an advisory capacity of several of
Richmond Hill's junior associations, clubs and teams from a variety
of sports to help determine the best way for the program to succeed.
In a letter to sixteen such groups the Mayor and A&L state
that "The mechanism by which this program will operate has
not yet been fully defined but in order to ensure that it will
work effectively, in concert with the funding and sponsorship
methods already in place in manu associations, we are inviting
representatives from each type of sporting activity to serve in
an advisory capacity to help determine how best to implement the
system."
It is anticipated that the increased sponsorship this program
should generate will help to contribute to the success of, and
help raise the profile of sporting activities in Richmond Hill.
A&L anticipates that should the program prove to be successful
in Richmond Hill, it could be extended to other regions. To kick
the program off, the Mayor of Richmond Hill will drop the puck
at the opening face-off of the final home game of the Richmond
Hill Minor atom A Stars Team at 2:40pm on Sunday, January 12 at
the Elgin Barrow East Arena in Richmond Hill. At the same time,
A&L Computer Software Limited will present a team jacket to
the Mayor.
A&L Computer Software Limited produces leading-edge document
imaging software and office management software for doctors' offices
and clinics.
