WHY SPONSOR?

Friday night football is the heartbeat of this community. Your brand belongs in the broadcast.

📡

Massive Local Reach

Every game streams live to thousands of Mentor residents — parents, alumni, students, and community members who support local businesses.

🔁

Recurring Exposure

Your brand appears in every broadcast, every replay, every social share. Season-long presence builds recognition a single ad never could.

❤️

Community Goodwill

Sponsors aren't just advertisers — they're community supporters. Mentor families remember and reward businesses that back their kids.

💰

Unbeatable ROI

At under $0.25 per impression for season packages, this is some of the most cost-effective hyperlocal advertising in Lake County.

YOUR BRAND,
EVERY MOMENT

From the opening kickoff to the final whistle, sponsors are woven into the broadcast experience — not just an ad break. Fans see your brand when they're most engaged.
