About us
Introduction
The Limestone District Grenadiers Football Club offers competitive summer football at both
the junior and senior varsity level. These teams travel within the Ontario Varsity Football
League (OVFL). The Grenadiers are a not-for-profit association overseen by a volunteer
board of directors. Volunteer coaches lead these teams and a dedicated group of parent
volunteers’ assist with game-day operations. Volunteers are committed to three
objectives: safety; participation over competition; and education over performance.
The Grenadiers provide an opportunity for athletes between the ages of 15 and 19 to
play a highly competitive level of summer football while progressing through their high
school years. In addition to learning, playing and enjoying football, emphasis is placed
on sportsmanship, self-discipline, teamwork, academic achievement and community
involvement. Many graduating Grenadiers move on to play university football.
The Club relies on support from the community and corporate sponsorship to help offset
costs to keep local football affordable for players and their families. Costs associated
with running the Grenadiers junior and senior varsity teams include field and facility
rentals, equipment purchases, travel expenses, the cost of officials, league fees,
insurance and so much more. With your help registration fees can be kept as low as
possible to encourage these athletes to remain active in football.
This sponsorship package introduces opportunities for you to support the Grenadiers.
Please take a minute and choose the level of support that best suits your business
needs. Your interest and commitment, through your sponsorship, will help build a strong
and lasting relationship with our community.

Vision
The Limestone District Grenadiers Football Club has a mission to build and maintain a
thriving organization constructed around the communities of Brockville, Kingston and
Belleville regions. The most important part of this vision is to provide the essential tools
to our players allowing them to develop not only their next stage within the sport of
Football but to equip them with self-improvement and team skills important in all other
life pursuits. Our organization is invested in innovation, ambitious for improvement, and
committed to excellence. We believe that maintaining the Grenadiers as a premier
franchise within the OVFL represents a rich investment in our local community spirit and
identity. Most importantly though, the Limestone Grenadiers Football Club is an
investment in our youth and the future they bring with them.

Sponsorship opportunities
5-Star General: $5,000
The 5-Star General is the most prestigious package. Your company will be promoted
locally at the home field and online. Your company will have a presence on our website,
reaching Grenadier fans for a full year. On the field, your company name/logo will be
proudly displayed on banners at the sideline; and your company name and/or logo will
appear on team apparel. Not only will game attendees become familiar with your
company at the field, fans will also take home a souvenir game-day program that will
include your full-page, full colour ad to continue your company’s influence off the field.
And there’s more! Your company will be announced at various times throughout all
junior and senior varsity home games. This added feature expands on the visual
components listed above to create an auditory association between your company and
the Grenadiers. The presentation of physical, visual and auditory stimuli will provide an
opportunity for fans to familiarize themselves with your company and create quick recall
when thinking about the products and services your company provides. This package
also includes four season passes for you or your employee to experience OVFL football
in action.
Your involvement with our association is appreciated. With this package your company
