Sponsor Acknowledgement
A couple of friends have a new team and I'm cooking with them later this year. One of the guys is very active in organizing community events (a charity golf tournament, Eagles Lodge bus trips to Deadwood SD, gun raffles etc.) and he has lined up sponsors for all of our meats except brisket which we will special order. Budweiser is furnishing 3 X 7 banners (perfect for mounting on our tables or canopy's) and the sponsors will be listed on those.... but I'm curious how much appreciation you guys give your sponsors in return? We'll probably give them some hats or shirts, and we're considering a pig roast with an open bar kind of thing this fall.... just trying to figure out the proper payback.

I'm curious how you got sponsors without any plan on how to benefit them!
Seriously, though, I'm not the one to talk to. For all of our sponsors what was expected both directions was in place from the beginning. Those are all different agreements, and work differently, but it was all agreed at the beginning. The rule of thumb is to give more than you receive. The thank you event would be a big part of that.

The root of my question was curiosity about what's typical in a small teem/sponsor relationship. I think it would be way different if my friends team was competing in 10 competitions, but for now it will be a maximum of 2 or 3 for this first or second year.

Fair enough. For that type of event, as a one off or so, they may be completely happy knowing that they are supporting people who are helping to support a good cause.
As some nobodies in this BBQ world, we get creative. We have one sponsor that we give our leftovers to (as much as I hate pulling all that pork after turn ins, I keep reminding myself people are buying it, and that makes it go easier). We have another that we invite to the American Royal to party on Friday night. We have lucked out this year and have a BBQ Store sponsor us, as well as one rub/sauce manufacturer and those look different, but for non BBQ businesses, find out what they like and what they can get out of it. Cooking a company picnic would be an fairly simple one that I think several companies would look at.

Cooking at (or for) their company picnic is a great idea, I'll send that idea up the ladder.
