Murphy USA, the discount gas station chain based in Arizona, launched their new Youth Sports Team Sponsorship website, www.teammurphyusa.com, in January 2010 in an effort to expand their community outreach in the upcoming years.
Team Murphy USA is an interactive website that allows team
representatives from youth sports leagues to submit their information
online for review and possible sponsorship. From the site, sponsored
teams can upload photographs, show off their trophies, send
congratulations, and share their sponsorship experience.
The automated application process on www.teammurphyusa.com has made the
process much easier for teams to get sponsored. Sports team sponsorship
amounts are determined by the level of recognition provided and range
from $100 to $500.
“We wanted to grow beyond just helping out a few local teams to create a program that ties all of our teams together and provides opportunities for other youth in our neighborhoods to join Team Murphy USA,” says Jay Staggs, Murphy USA Communications Director.
Murphy USA is currently operating over 1,000 retail stores in 21 states and is looking to open an additional 80 stores in 2010. They are currently looking to sponsor a youth sports team in each community with a Murphy USA/Express.
