The Warrior Athletics Corporate Sponsorship Program is of great asset to Intercollegiate Athletics at Cal State Stanislaus as it provides revenue and support for all of the University’s varsity sports teams.
Warrior Athletics sponsors receive great exposure through venue signage, media guide/game program advertisement, in-game announcements, message board displays, Internet broadcasts, web site advertisement, game and special event sponsorships, and much more.
We strives to create long-lasting partnerships by combining the excitement of NCAA Division II Intercollegiate Athletics and passion of our fan base to your business, products and services to give you the maximum exposure you seek.
Whether you are networking with other businesses and our sponsors, creating game based or retail consumer promotions, player and mascot appearances, media advertising, arena signage or ticketing packages, our goal is to connect you with our students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents and fans.

From print to the Internet, the Corporate Sponsorship Program has the medium you need to help you reach your market and meet your goals.
Media Opportunities

The books are also distributed to perspective student-athletes, students, fans and parents, as well as visiting teams. Ad sizes range from business card to full page. Single book or packages are available.
Visitors’ Guide
One of the best resources for our visiting teams, fans and parents are the official Warrior Athletics visitor’s guide. Most of our visitors and teams will refer to this guide for places to stay and places to dine.
Game Day Programs
Your logo/ad can be placed on Warrior GameDay – a game day publication with updated information on the teams as well as rosters.
Internet Video and Audio Broadcasts
Plans are in place for Warrior Athletics to begin broadcasting contest via the Internet through WarriorAthletics.com, for both audio and video. Professional commercials and live reads will be available as part of the broadcast.
Public Address Announcement
During each home contest, announcements are made to reach the fans in the arena and outdoor contests. Sponsors will receive announcements that are read a number of times during each game.
