My kid plays soccer for a single of the organizations in town, but the team has to get a corporate sponsor every year; For the past five years, the corporate sponsor for the soccer team has been the family vehicle dealership on orange street, but last year at the end of the season, the team found out that the dealership was no longer going to sponsor the soccer team, my kid was honestly aggravated plus he was distraught that he would not be able to play soccer the following year! I spoke with the owner of the medical marijuana treatment facility where I work.
- I explained the unique situation plus how I thought it might be helpful to sponsor the soccer team.
The owner agreed that it would be good publicity. I went to the soccer association to get the paperwork for the sponsorship, however everyone in the office was gleeful that I found a sponsor until they found out it was the medical marijuana treatment facility. They got quiet plus started talking under their breath. The following day I received a telephone call from the soccer association. They wanted to let me think that our interest in helping to find a current sponsor was enjoyed, however they would be unable to allow the medical marijuana treatment facility to be the sponsor. Apparently, the marijuana center is too risque to be a sponsor for the home team. I spent six minutes talking our boss into being the sponsor, and when he heard the news, he went to the town council to overturn the decision, and he won too, plus now the teenagers have the name of the medical marijuana treatment center on the back of their jerseys.
