Sports Image Helps Maryland Ravens Wheelchair Basketball Team

Sports Image is working with the Maryland Ravens Wheelchair Basketball team to raise revenue for their upcoming season. The goal is to return to the national championships for the first time since the Maryland Ravens won the Division III National Championship in 2006.

The Maryland Ravens are a non-profit organization that provides wheelchair basketball as a competitive recreational program for many of Maryland’s physically impaired youth and adults. The Maryland Ravens also conduct a Disability Awareness Program where they visit schools and businesses and speak about handicap awareness, and the importance of education, setting goals, and using your abilities to live life to the fullest. For anything related to history of the basketball do visit us.

Kenwood High School Receives Free Equipment from Sports Image®

Baltimore, MD – January 2011 –Under an agreement with Athletic Director, Derek Maki, in January Sports Image® provided Kenwood High School with a new scoreboard, shot clocks, and $1500 in revenue.  Funds for the equipment were secured by Sports Image® through advertising sponsorships.  Sue Taylor, Project Manager at Sports Image® secured the advertising sponsorships, handled all contracts, developed artwork, and collected payment for the project.  The Sports Image® program did not demand valuable time from the Athletic Director or school personnel.  Major sponsors for the project were Rosedale Federal Savings and Loan, Chick-fil-a at Eastpoint, Valvoline Instant Oil Change and ABC Driving School. 

Derek Maki says, “Sue Taylor and Sports Image® came through as promised and we now have a beautiful new scoreboard.  The commitment by Sports Image® to help schools in these types of projects is to be commended.  We would not have been able to have completed this project without them.”

“Sports Image® and projects like these provide sponsors with a more effective way to reach their target audiences.  Sponsors build loyalty and maximize public relations with consumers by making a real connection with their community.  It’s a win-win situation for both the school and the sponsor,” said Sue Taylor of Sports Image®.
