Dear Potential Sponsor,

Palos Stars Football and Cheerleading are excited to be entering our 50th season! We serve the Palos Heights, Palos Park, Palos Hills, Alsip, Worth, Burbank, Chicago Ridge, Bridgeview, Justice, Summit, Hickory Hills, Willow Springs and Orland Park areas.

The goal of the Palos Stars association is to provide a positive environment for the youth of our communities by providing a quality youth football and cheerleading program where players can learn and develop fundamentals, skills, teamwork and good sportsmanship. The lessons that they learn do not just apply to what happens on the field or at cheer competitions, but to many challenges that they face in school and life. With a commitment to safety, teamwork, and education, our program produces some of the most awarded individuals. A few of those previous players are even back with us to coach their own kids now.

As a 100% non-profit, volunteer organization, we depend greatly on the generous donations of our corporate sponsors. This helps us keep the registration costs low for our families and provides us funds to develop and maintain our football field and practice area at George Cuevas Park in Palos Hills. Our field has a prime location on Southwest Highway, just across from the Palos Heights metra train station, with plenty of daily traffic on top of the numerous families that come to the field for practices and games.

This year, we are in even greater need of financial support due to our deteriorating concession stand. It needs a full rebuild and is an integral piece our of program. Our home games are full day events with hundreds of people from ours and neighboring communities in attendance and feeding the masses is a must. New sponsorship levels are being added this year to include prominent placement of our thanks to your support.

All donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law.

For more information please contact Vanessa Trench at: palosstarsfootball@gmail. or
