/ SPONSORSHIPS

In the fall of 1919, 100 years ago, one of the longest surviving football rivalries began between the Lancaster Legends and the Depew Wildcats. Locally, Western New Yorkers still consider this to be one of the fiercest games around. In fact, in the 1930’s the rivalry got so intense that the game had an eight-year hiatus, as fan safety became a concern.

With this great tradition in mind, we are proud to announce our first every Alumni Week Rivalry Celebration! The 100th Anniversary Rivalry Week Celebration will begin with planned events on Tuesday, October 15th and culminate on Saturday, October 19th with a special fund raising event at the newly renovated Depew Boys and Girls Club.

The proceeds raised throughout this week will directly benefit our current and future students by supporting our various academic and extra-curricular programming, along with supporting our various scholarship programs. Specifically, we are looking for direct sponsorship support and have a range of opportunities for those wishing to participate in a special way. The sponsorship opportunities range from a Centennial Sponsorship at $100 to the exclusive Presenting Sponsor at $10,000, which includes tossing the coin and awarding the championship trophy at the Rivalry Game. A listing of all seven of the sponsorship opportunities can be found by clicking the button below.

This week would not be possible without the support and generosity of our community and alumni sponsors. If you would like to meet with us to further discuss our event, or have any questions, please feel free to contact Laura A. Cooley, Sponsorship Chair, at .

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. It is greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you at the 100th Anniversary Rivalry Week!
