Linn Benton Pop Warner Sponsor Information
| Each year the Board of Directors, parents, and
other volunteers prepare for a broader, better equipped and
more publicized youth football and cheer program for boys and girls,
ages 5 to 14. Contributions are sought from individuals,
businesses and corporate entities to fund the fall season.
Youth football and cheer requires a considerable investment in
the safest, most modern equipment available. Besides uniforms
and player equipment, we must pay for the use of athletic
fields, personnel to prepare the fields, equipment storage,
liability insurance, referees, and emergency medical technician
expenses to name a few. As school budgets have been reduced,
organizations such as Linn Benton Pop Warner (LBPW) have become the
providers of physical education for today's active elementary
and middle school youth.
If you are looking for a way to make a positive difference in
the lives of kids in your community, please consider becoming a
sponsor. LBPW has many sponsorship opportunities starting
for as little as $250. If you don't want to be a sponsor,
you can still make a tax deductible donation of a denomination
to help pay for referees or fund a player scholarship.

LBPW is a
501(c)(3) organization and donations are tax deductible.

Donations to
Pop Warner Little Scholars, Inc.
Did you know that
charitable gifts might help you save on taxes in a multitude of ways while also
helping the children of Pop Warner? Your donations may be income tax deductible
and exempt from gift taxes; and with a proper strategy, you may be able to
reduce capital gains tax as well.
If you, or anyone you
know, expect to have capital gains this year, consider donating shares of
appreciated stock or mutual funds to Pop Warner. You may be able to deduct the
current market value of your gift for income tax purposes and may be able to
avoid any capital gains taxes you would have owed if you sold the assets
(subject to certain limitations).
The transfer of ownership
is easy. Simply ask your financial institution to transfer the assets to Pop
Warner. We can provide you with the necessary information. To be effective for
income tax purposes, the transfer will need to be made before year-end.
Finally, do not overlook
free money. Many companies match dollar-for-dollar on eligible employee's gifts
to non-profit organizations. Some companies also match dollars for volunteered
time. Please take a moment to see if your company participated in a similar
program. Every dollar raised will help the children of Pop Warner in 2006!
For more information,
please contact the PWLS National Office at (215) 752-2691
or call (541) 248-9767. You can also send an e-mail to ana.norlander@lbpopwarner.com.

"When I played Pop Warner Football, I had a great deal
of fun. You could be a kid, you could run around, you
could laugh, you could holler. Those were great
moments."
