Annual Kick-off and Tip-off Luncheons
March 19th 2006
Q. We’re thinking about implementing kick-off and tip-off luncheons for our football and basketball programs. Could you provide some examples of these events?
A. Hosting kick-off and tip-off events are terrific events for your fans, and could also be a great way to generate ticket sales for your home opener by packaging a ticket, and possibly an event T-shirt with the price of the event.
Since a large number of season ticket holders would likely attend the luncheon, having the tickets benefit a children’s charity or under-served youth would be an excellent way to positively impact and serve youth in your community who may not otherwise have an opportunity to attend one of your athletic events.
Tulane athletics hosts a neat Fall Kick-off Luncheon that not only features the Green Wave football team, but the soccer and volleyball programs as well.
Here are some Kick-off and Tip-off event examples, including the Green Wave’s annual event:
ODU’s Basketball Tip-off Luncheon
Tulane’s Fall Kick-off Luncheon
Washington Huskies Basketball Tip-off Luncheon
Atlanta Falcon’s Kick-off Luncheon
Your turn to take a shot!
What annual events does your sports organization host to kick-off or tip-off your sports seasons?
