Sponsorship Opportunities

Toss Yer Cabers is only able to successfully fundraise with the support of generous sponsors who provide prizes for the raffle, terrain for the miniature battles to take place across, and help with stocking the bar. Although our sponsors are largely miniature wargaming focused, we also welcome other companies who want to contribute, and have been sponsored in past years by local construction companies and car dealerships who operate in and around Vancouver.

If you would like to get involved, we would love to talk to you, the best way would be to reach out via our Contact page.

We love off the wall ideas and novel ways that people like to get involved, so please message us if you have an idea you would like to discuss!

For sponsors who have donated before, you will see that this system is new for 2023; our aim is to offer a broader range of opportunities to promote you and your products. The Bronze tier is essentially what we were offering in prior years, social media promotion, and display of logos with prizes, but the new Silver and Gold tiers are intended to provide more exposure and opportunities to connect you with attendees and the wider gaming community.

Sponsorship Tiers

We offer three different levels of engagement with sponsors, but also welcome discussion around any custom requests or ideas you might have. Each tier corresponds to the value of what is donated, in Canadian Dollars.

After the event all sponsors are contacted within one month with a letter of thanks, which details the amounts raised, charities supported, and includes links to pictures of the event, and prize winners holding their prizes and the logo of the donating company. Sponsors are welcome to use any of the images in their own social media channels and we are always willing to discuss special requests.

Some anticipated FAQs:

  • Due to the volume of generous sponsors our prior approach of doing one social media post per day per sponsor is sadly no longer viable (in 2022 we made over 60 posts!). In order to create a more manageable system we will be mentioning up to four companies who contribute at the Bronze tier per post (including their logos as images) and doing featured posts mentioning just a single sponsor at the Silver and Gold tiers.
  • Since the event has grown (and future growth is planned) we are very keen to work with sponsors who can provide tables of terrain for any game system that we can use. We have several very talented community painters who will work on them and feature them through their painting blogs and in perpetuity the table will feature two signs saying ‘donated by…’ featuring the sponsors logo and name.
  • We are working with community members to create video content for the first time. These volunteers are professionals in the film and video editing world and we intend to have both pre- and post-event videos going forward. The first video will be made and released after this year’s event with footage captured this year. For Silver and Gold Tier sponsors their logos will be featured prominently with a special mention.
  • We do not have the capability to stream the event and insert sponsors logos this year as the current venue is not good for this, but we intend to explore this for 2024.
  • Sponsored tables will feature two prominent display stands, one at each end, featuring the logo and name of the sponsor with the text ‘Table sponsored by…’; customization is entirely possible if requested.
  • Wearing of name badges is mandatory at the event by both players and volunteers and only sponsors contributing at the Gold tier will get their logos added to the Name Badges.
  • As a reminder, Toss Yer Cabers operates under the aegis of the Wargamers Without Borders Society, a Registered Society in BC, Canada. We are not yet a Registered Charity and sadly cannot provide tax receipts this year. Rest assured that the intent is to apply this year, so hopefully this will be possible in 2024.
