SECTION SIX Corporate Partners
THANKING OUR CORPORATE Corporate involvement is essential to most not-for-
profit organizations, and the IHSAA is no exception.
PARTNERS AND SPONSORS
In reality, our corporate partners are not supporting
our association, per se, but rather the 21 sports the
IHSAA sanctions and the 160,000 student-athletes
who participate in them.
In return, these young people are learning life skills
that cannot be taught in the high school classroom—
skills such as respect for authority, self discipline,
sportsmanship, time management, teamwork and
persistence. This is the same skill set that will help
them become more productive, responsible citizens.
So when a company or organization invests in high
school sports, it literally is making an investment in
our community.
On behalf of our 412 member schools, its coaches and
administrators, and the thousands of student-athletes
who play the games, we say thank you to all of the
IHSAA’s corporate partners and sponsors.
