Sport is often spoken of mainly in terms of the elite level but is actually undertaken in greatest numbers at grassroots.
KlubFunder, a Belfast based service offering a free fundraising platform to sports clubs alongside teamwear and equipment, has just signed a partnership deal with major German sportswear brand Uhlsport.
“We are delighted to be teaming up with KlubFunder who share a common ethos with Uhlsport with their passion to make a difference within the grassroots sports community,” said Brian Hutchinson, Country Manager – Ireland.
“We see the partnership as a great way to enhance our brand across amateur sports and to extend our reach to other sports we may not have been typically associated with.”
“Uhlsport is proud of its heritage and always striving to be closest to our customers, so we are looking forward to the exciting projects we have in the pipeline with KlubFunder”
“We look forward to working in partnership with Uhlsport to further enhance our offering to our clubs,” added Stephen Convery, Product Manager – KlubFunder.
“With our close connection to the amateur sports community and Uhlsport’s focus on ‘keeping it local’ the synergy is there and the fit is great.”
“Having a major brand like Uhlsport on-board adds another string to our bow and at the same time enables Uhslport to grow its brand and engage across a number of sports.”
“It should be an exciting year for KlubFunder as we look to build on the platform and community we have established over the last 18 months. We hope to announce a have a number of additional strategic partnerships over the coming year.”
Sport for Business will be hosting a Sports Club Hub Roadshow later in 2017, looking at areas of mutual interest for clubs across fundraising, sponsorship, governance and management. Find out more here.
