The Classic could not operate without the generous contributions of its sponsors. State Farm is currently the presenting Title Sponsor. Classic and Teams sponsors also contribute to make “The Best Basketball This Side Of March™” possible.
If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, we’d love to have you join the team! Whether you are interested in joining at the Classic Level ($1000) or becoming a Team Sponsor ($150), we would love to talk with you about our sponsorship packages and benefits, or answer any questions you might have. Call John Althoff at 309.766.9615.
