We are Highway to Hele - a Torquay United fanzine.

This year, we are trying to raise funds to sponsor a player at both Torquay United FC and Torquay United Ladies FC. This is especially important for a club like ours as the money will go straight towards manager Kevin Nicholson's playing budget in the case of the Men's team, and will cover the costs of registration, kit and equipment in the case of the Ladies. We have calculated that £450 will cover the following:

- Away sponsorship for one player at Torquay United FC
- Home and away sponsorship for one player at Torquay United Ladies FC

We started this fundraising opportunity for two reasons:
1) We want to support the club at this important time in our history, and play our part in giving both teams the best chance of success this season.
2) For many, player sponsorship is an unattainable dream. The costs are expensive for the average person and are generally stumped up by those people with businesses to promote, or others who are lucky enough to have the required amount of disposable income. Our goal is to bring people together who might only be able to contribute a small amount, but want to chip in and support the club however they can.

Some important points:
- The sponsorship opportunity will be listed as 'Highway to Hele and friends' or similar where a name needs to be given (e.g. in the official programme). For obvious reasons the official programme cannot display every name of the people who donate. However, we will print all the names in each issue of Highway to Hele throughout the season as a thank you for your support.
- Should the total cost needed decrease from £450, we will transfer any leftover money to the Player Fund.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll consider making a donation, however small.
