:: USA Gymnastics :: 2009 T&T J.O. Championships Program Ads

May 26 is the deadline to turn in ads for the Nationals program. As always, this is a great way to earn money for your team. You sell the ads and keep half the money!

Program ads may be purchased by businesses, teams, parents or other interested parties. They may include digital photographs, clip art, etc. All ads must be submitted in one of the following formats:

MICROSOFT WORD ADOBE ACROBAT JPG, WMF, GIF

Be sure to name the document with your team name and the size of the ad (e.g. - kathys-gym-qtr-pg.jpg). All pages of the program are in color this year, so please send color ads.

For just $20 extra, we will create the ad for you, if you wish. Just tell us the size of the ad, the words you want to use, making sure to spell all names/team names correctly, and send any digital pictures you wish to include. Ads may be e-mailed or may be submitted on a disk or cd.

Here's how it works:

SELL THE PROGRAM ADS - The team collects money and all information for each ad. Use the Program Ad Form to gather the information for each ad sold. The form is for your use and is not submitted to USAG, since all ads must be in one of the formats listed above.
SEND PAYMENT - Send half of the money collected, plus $20 if we create the ad, and the Payment Form to Cathy Allen at the USA Gymnastics National Office in Indianapolis. Payment should be in the form of one team check, money order, certified check or credit card. See the payment form for complete information on submitting payment. ALL PAYMENTS (not the ads) AND THE PAYMENT FORM MUST BE SUBMITTED TO CATHY ALLEN. DOWNLOAD PAYMENT FORM. DEADLINE IS MAY 26!
PAY YOUR TEAM - The other half of the money is retained by the team selling the ads.
SUBMIT THE PROGRAM ADS - The ads are submitted on disk or cd, or by e-mail to Kathy Tyler at the Program Office in Texas. Please send a separate document for each ad. Note that all pages of the program will be printed in color this year, so please submit color ads. Please send a separate document for each ad. If you want us to create the ad for you, you may e-mail the wording and attach any pictures you want to use. ALL ADS (not payment) MUST BE SUBMITTED TO KATHY TYLER at ktyler@usa-gymnastics.org or by mail to Kathy Tyler, P.O. Box 306, Brownfield, TX 79316 or by Fedex/UPS/DHL to Kathy Tyler, 1309 Tahoka Rd., Brownfield, TX 79316, Phone 806-637-8670. DEADLINE IS MAY 26!

Businesses should understand that purchasing an ad is considered advertising expense, not a contribution. If businesses wish to donate money, contributions must be made to a non-profit organization such as USA Gymnastics or a booster club.

Be sure to include a $20.00 charge for any ad we create for you. THE $20.00 CHARGE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MONEY FOR THE TEAMS. THE FULL AMOUNT FOR THOSE CHARGES WILL BE PAID TO USAG T&T.

USA Gymnastics reserves the right to refuse any ad deemed inappropriate.
