Your guide to sponsoring the NPPL

and the PIG MADNESS Tournaments!!

ABOUT THE NPPL

Celebrating it’s 11th year, the National Pass the Pigs League is host to one of the most anticipated parties of the year and multiple tournaments throughout the calendar year. As a non-profit organization, the League is dedicated to supporting the fun and humor of playing Pass the Pigs and encouraging new players to get involved. The NPPL is held at exclusive venues that create a perfect backdrop for a unique party experience. The “Pig Madness” annual party from the NPPL is growing bigger and larger every year at such a rapid pace the event itself is getting increasingly more difficult to make happen at all. In addition to this website getting multiple hits daily, recent interest from The Onion newspaper, and growing word-of-mouth, the NPPL could grow to be too big for it’s own good. Any donations of any kind will allow the NPPL to not only get bigger and better for every event, but also reach national status and help make the leap from an amateur league to a recognized professional league, much like the professional leagues of Pillow Fighting, Rock Paper Scissors, and Air Guitar.

OUR MISSION

The NPPL tournaments started as way to get friends together during the holidays. The anticipation and resulting all-out fun of the tournaments resulted in the league growing bigger and better every year. The NPPL would like to make the annual summer party “Pig Madness” even more fun and entertaining than previous years, hoping to draw crowds of spectators and press and media attention. Our vision is to add full-time referees, commentators with a sideline reporter, a professional scoreboard, celebrity guests, live bands and djs, souvenir t-shirts, gift bags for all contestants, independent catering, etc. The NPPL tournaments are already events that many people look forward to and plan around - with more publicity and more media attention, the league is destined to be a humorous nitch of society that will bring more good times for that much more people.

BRAND RECOGNITION

If your mission is building business in any industry or brand recognition in Southern California or the United States in general, you need to be a sponsor of NPPL. The NPPL events and entity can provide sponsors with multiple outlets and exhibits to connect with a variety of people that would help promote what you may have to offer.
