The Punta Gorda Police Department is seeking sponsors for its summer youth basketball 
league, Jammers. The Jammers youth basketball program has become one of the premier leagues in Charlotte County. The league – which is totally free to children – provides the young players with uniforms, trophies, and other surprises throughout the summer. Punta Gorda Police Officers are coaching 8 teams this year.
Sponsors are needed in order to keep this basketball league completely free for the children and their parents. League sponsors, with a minimum $100 donation, will receive recognition on the department’s website and social media. A $500 Championship Sponsorship includes all of the above advertising as well as your business name on the back of your team’s jerseys and a special photo and plaque at the end of the season.
The Jazzy Jammers are also returning after a successful first year! The Jazzy Jammers is a pom-pom dance squad that will perform as a half-time show during the Jammers’ season.
Punta Gorda Police Officers started the Jammers basketball program in 2001. The primary focus of the league is to build character, teach the importance of sportsmanship, enhance the lines of communication between police officers and the youth in our community, as well as to enhance players’ interpersonal skills.
For more information on how to become a sponsor or contribute to Jammers, please contact Lieutenant Katie Heck at (941) 575-5525 or at kheck@pgorda.us. For more information on Jammers, go to www.puntagordapolice.com.
