How SponsorPlace Helped Dwyer High School Raise $7,533 for Nationals in 5 Weeks
School: Dwyer High School · Programs Funded: Boys Golf Nationals · Launched: April 2026 · Athletic Director: Eric Fasone- Assistant Principal
Dwyer High School's boys golf team in Palm Beach, FL, earned a spot at Nationals in Pinehurst, NC. There was just one problem. They didn't have the funds to get there. Travel, meals, equipment, it all added up fast, and the clock was ticking. So the school turned to SponsorPlace, and an entire community showed up for their hometown heroes.
The Challenge
Before SponsorPlace, Dwyer's sponsorships lived everywhere and nowhere. There was no central home for sponsorships, no single place to manage printing, business sponsor information, and outreach. Everything was scattered, which made it hard to move fast when it mattered most. With Nationals on the calendar, the team needed a more scalable, organized way to rally support.
The Solution
SponsorPlace brought it all together. Printing, business sponsor details, and sponsorship levels lived under one roof, turning a fragmented effort into one connected campaign.
The Assistant Principal led the push, with direct outreach to local businesses as the standout move. From there, the whole community took over. Students, parents, school staff, district personnel, and the local country club all shared the SponsorPlace link, and it took off.
They hosted a golf tournament at the country club that drew 62 participants. Every participant walked away with a goodie bag featuring complimentary business cards from sponsors, an easy way to put local businesses in front of an engaged, invested audience.
The students had worked so hard for a chance to make it to the nationals, and their entire community showed up and showed off to make that dream a reality.
“Using SponsorPlace really showed me that fundraising doesn’t have to be hard. I wish we had this before now. We’ll be using it for more than one-time events going forward, for our entire school to support all our student athletes and our athletic program.”
The Results
In just 5 weeks, Dwyer High School generated $7,533, fully funding the trip to Nationals for 5 players and 2 coaches. The campaign drew 4 main business sponsors alongside 62 community ticket purchasers, proof that when a community rallies, the numbers follow.
