Why Become a Sponsor?
The Aquarist Club at USF is a newly founded student organization at the University of South Florida. Our organization was only founded in June 2011, and thanks to the support of our wonderful sponsors this past academic year, the Aquarist Club at USF was able to provide members with an online website and forum for networking, monthly meetings featuring guest speakers that gave talks on either their experience in the aquarium hobby or their aquatic-related research, member socials, and a trip to a fish breeding facility and a trip to Mote Marine Aquarium. It is through the funding and support of our sponsors that all of this was possible. In order to maintain our organization and enable the Aquarist Club at USF's continued success we need your support.
Your sponsorship and support would be greatly appreciated. As a sponsor of the Aquarist Club at USF, your name will be promoted on our website and forum, as well as at Aquarist Club at USF events. This advertising is mutually beneficial and allows you to advertise directly to your specific target audience (i.e. aquarists). By becoming a sponsor of our organization, our club members are made aware of local businesses that support our organization and our mission, and, in return, you gain new customers.
We sincerely appreciate your support of our organization. Your sponsorship allows us to maintain our organization and provide a community for aquarists at the University of South Florida.
