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.
