Storm Pulling Sponsorship
« on: February 10, 2006, 07:04:46 PM »
This past weekend JST in So Cal told us that they are no longer going to be sponsored by Storm as Storm was pulling out of just about all of their deals with junior tournaments...Did this happen to all of you guys wherever you are on here...and Jeff, did JBT lose their ball every tournament as well?

I think this is going to bite Storm in the butt big time because it makes them look horrible, taking away from the youth

GO COLUMBIA!

Hello,

In response to the original post:

It is with great disappointemnt that I announce that Storm will indeed be scaling back- but not terminating- its partnership with JBT SW.

We will continue to raffle off a high-end bowling ball at every event, so don't panic, that won't change!

Storm will still be sponsoring a few individual tournaments, but will no longer be our blanket sponsor.

We will forever be grateful for everything Storm has done for us- they have been invaluable to us as we grew as an organization.  We'd like to also think that, in return, we've done a heck of a lot for Storm.  In fact, dangit, I KNOW we have.  Anyone who has seen us in action knows that.  So, yes, we're disappointed that they felt it proper to reduce their sponsorship, but we're also grateful to continue to have them on board in any capacity.

We hope to secure other partnerships soon to make up for the significant gap that Storm's reduction has caused.  Look for announcements soon!

Thanks,
Jeff Hemer, JBT SW
