Dear Community Partner,

On behalf of the Gateway Pioneer Athletic Conference (GPAC), we are excited to announce the official expansion and development of our intercollegiate athletic conference.

The Gateway Pioneer Athletic Conference is a competitive junior college conference committed to providing student-athletes with a high-level platform for development, exposure, and academic achievement. In 2026, GPAC will launch with 8 member institutions, expanding to a total of 14 teams in 2027. Our mission is to create a structured, competitive environment where student-athletes can gain valuable playing experience, complete their associate degrees, and transition successfully to four-year institutions.

As we prepare for conference play, we are launching our Conference Development Fundraiser to secure essential equipment, operational resources, and branding materials for all member programs.

Conference-wide needs include:

Football

Helmets and shoulder pads
Game and alternate uniforms
Sideline and training equipment

Basketball (Men’s & Women’s)

Home and away uniforms

Your partnership will directly impact over 300+ student-athletes in 2026, with that number growing significantly in 2027 as we expand to 14 programs. By supporting GPAC, you are investing in opportunity — giving student-athletes a second chance, a development pathway, and a clear route to four-year scholarships while earning their associate degrees.

We offer multiple sponsorship opportunities, including:

Founding Conference Partner (2026 Inaugural Season)
Championship Event Sponsor
Official Equipment Sponsor
Media & Broadcast Sponsor
Institutional Team Sponsorship

Sponsors will receive recognition across conference branding, social media platforms, live-stream broadcasts, championship events, and official conference publications.

The Gateway Pioneer Athletic Conference is building something special — a structured, competitive league led by experienced coaches and administrators committed to excellence. We would be honored to have you join us as a foundational partner during this historic launch and expansion phase.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to the opportunity to build together.

Sincerely,

Chris Griggs
