Energy For Cougars

DID YOU KNOW? The University of Houston had the first person of Indian origin, Dr. Renu Khatour, become President of the University of Houston System in January 2008. In addition, Kevin Sumlin, hired as Head Football Coach in December 2007, will be the first African-American ever to lead a Division I-A football program in the state of Texas.

COUGAR PRIDE
Cougar Pride is an organization of alumni, fans, former student-athletes, coaches and friends joining together to provide current student-athletes with a first-class education and a chance to excel in the classroom and on the playing field. Your corporate membership in Cougar Pride will help supply scholarships for over 300 student-athletes in 16 collegiate sports.

ISP SPORTS
ISP Sports has been hired by the UH Athletic Department to help raise money through corporate sponsorships. As the exclusive multi-media rights holder for Cougar Athletics, ISP Sports is joining forces with Cougar Pride, the scholarship fundraising arm of UH Athletics, to market the "Energy for Cougars" program.

ENERGY FOR COUGARS
The goal of this new program is to raise funds from the Houston Energy Community to help finance Cougar Athletic Scholarships and to help offset additional UH Athletic Department expenses. Your company's corporate sponsorship dollars would go toward providing scholarships for our student-athletes, facility improvements, academic services, offsetting travel expenses, and most importantly providing resources to shape the life of our student-athletes.

PARTNERS
Current Partners include Chevron, Constellation New Energy, Apache, FabEnCo, and CenterPoint Energy. Each partner will donate $10,500 to UH through a sponsorship with ISP Sports. Twenty percent of this sponsorship will go directly to Cougar Pride to fund scholarships and $500 will go toward purchasing game tickets for disadvantaged youth. The

Our involvement has ranged from title sponsoring the Bayou Bucket, an annual football game between the University of Houston and Rice University, to sponsorship and tickets to all major sports at the University.
    My experience with ISP Sports has been extremely positive. The value we receive from our relationship with ISP and the University is outstanding. Their willingness to develop program that meet the needs at Administaff has made the decision to continue our involvement with them an easy one. In fact, we intend to increase our financial commitment to the University in 2008."
