Please Become a 2022 Sponsor

15 February 2022

Dear Friends,

Southern Delaware Women’s Multisport Club (SDWMC) is a newly formed, nonprofit corporation organized and operated to foster national or international amateur sports competition for women in multisport events (including, but not limited to triathlon, biathlon, duathlon, aquathlon, swim-run, off road, winter triathlon, quadrathlon, and aquabike) and their individual sport disciplines.

· SDWMC is a nonprofit corporation registered in Delaware. 

· SDWMC is a 501(c)(3) designated public charity.

· SDWMC is registered with USA Triathlon as a 2022 member club.

· SDWMC is registered as an Ironman TriClub.

· SDWMC is an all-volunteer, member driven club

· SDWMC is the only women’s-only USA Triathlon club in Delaware and the DelMarVa peninsula.

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of being a healthy weight. “Adults with excess weight are at even greater risk during the COVID-19 pandemic”. [1] The 2020 CDC Adult Obesity Prevalence Maps[2] state that Delaware has the sixth highest rate of obesity in the US with 36.5% of the population identified as obese. There are few sports teams/clubs for women in southern Delaware and no triathlon or multisport clubs. By providing opportunities for women to engage in swimming, running, biking and multisport activities, SDWMC is inspiring the women of southern Delaware to become more active and lead a healthier lifestyle.

As of the publication of this letter, SDWMC has 48 dues paying club members.  This has been achieved through a grassroots recruitment effort. SDWMC was recently featured in an article in Triathlete magazine about Women's triathlon clubs.  https://www.triathlete.com/culture/women-helping-women-start-tri-clubs-and-find-sisterhood/ 

Southern Delaware Women’s Multisport Club is seeking sponsors for our inaugural season in 2022 so that we can meet our operating costs and programming aspirations for the 2022 season. SDWMC is a volunteer-led, member-driven club and has no employees. 

We are also seeking donations (cash and in kind donations, including discounts). In kind donations may include raffle items for our 2022 Kick Off Meeting (gift cards, gift baskets, athletic goods, attire, race entry, USAT membership, etc.) as well as delivery of bike maintenance clinics, swim/bike/run/tri clinics, legal services, accounting services, providing meeting space, catering a SDWMC member meeting, etc. 

We thank you in advance for your support. Should you have any questions about our organization please contact us at SoDelFoxes@gmail.com.

With appreciation,

Michelle Mc Guinness
