Saturday, March 16th // Kansas City, MO
Specialty coffee and sports...really? How about coffee and getting together for good times? Of course. How about coffee, getting together, meet-n-greet time in the open air in a festival type setting? For sure! Our tea friends are just as welcome, too. This entertaining, friendly, and athletic competition is the COFFEELEBRITY SPORTS SLOWDOWN.
With coffee professionals from all over coming to Kansas City for the U.S. Coffee Champs, March 14 - 17, Caffeine Crawl is presenting this first ever fun sporting event. Invites to play are open for all coffee and tea professionals that will be in Kansas City during COFFEELEBRITY SPORTS SLOWDOWN on Saturday, March 16th. Everyone is welcome to attend this free event. There will not only be games going on, but event sponsors will be set-up with products to check out and sample. Companies interested in sponsoring please contact Jason, and see more on sponsorship details at the bottom.
We don't care your skill level, or if you haven't played organized sports in years. This isn't about getting a D1 scholarship, or showing up on ESPN. This is to get coffee pros from all over the country together for the love of sports or exercise regardless of the skill level. Whether a barista or sales rep - it doesn't matter.
ACTIVITES:
Wiffle ball, ultimate frisbee, soccer, and flag football if enough committed players.
TIMEFRAME:
Saturday, March 16. Noon to 4pm
LOCATION:
A park and field that will be confirmed this week near the U.S. Coffee Champs main event.
DEADLINE:
All entries must be in no later than Wednesday, March 13.
Each sport will have bonus point areas thanks to our sponsors. For example, a 3 run home run, plus the players on base if you hit a certain hot spot, or a free French Press when scoring a goal in soccer in the special circle.

SPONSORSHIP:
There are sponsorship opportunities for this event. The Platinum, Gold, and Silver Levels include spots to set up on the sidelines during the event. The higher the level, the more prime the location. We plan to attract several hundred people - coffee pros and avid coffee consumers - during this event. The Platinum and Gold Levels also will have special spots on the fields (1 per sponsor) displaying extra runs if hit here, a bonus out, two-point goal from the select spot, and many other entertaining locations adding a little extra to the games.
The sponsorship is Caffeine Crawls first ever partnership opportunity that includes three events for the price of one. Not only your select level for the COFFEELEBRITY SPORTS SLOWDOWN, but also Kansas City's April 26-28 Caffeine Crawl, and Missouri Coffee and Tea Week in November.
Please contact us with any interest, or questions. - Jason Burton
