Show ggj pqypp 3 fpHfilnuannh Welch encourages communities to plan Olympic events Tom Welch President, Salt Lake Olympic Committee One of the most frequently asked questions I confront while traveling and speaking with groups and friends around the state is how can a company or organiza- tion become involved with the 2002 Olympic Winter dames with out being a n dollar corporate sponsor? There are ways I'd be more accurate to say there will be ways in which local residents, firms and organizations can share the excitement of hosting the 2002 Olympics in ways which do not budgets. require mega-buc- k But before 1 pass along some ideas, I want to emphasize the fact multi-millio- that the Salt take Olympic Organizing Committee, the U.S. Olympic Com m i 1 1 ee a n d the International Olympic Committee could not function effectively without funds and contributions made by the major corporate sponsors and licensees. We need them. We Cannot successfully stage the 2002 Games without them. Such sponsors comprise 43 percent of in-ki- our projected budget for the i Games, the largest source of revenue in our $798 million budget. Thats why we must carefully adhere and protect the sponsorship packages that give those sponsors the right to use die Olympic rings, logos, slogans, icons, music and identities. Those items are the primary asset we (the SLOOC, USOC and IOC) have to sell in order to raise funds to help stage the Games and nur- ture successful a world-wid- e Olympic involvement. Most national and international corporate sponsors and licensees will pay upwards of $30 million for the right (for four years after the 1998 Winter Games in Nagano, Japan), to identify their products or services with the Olympic Games, so they must be given sponsorship priority and their advertising exclusivity protected if our Games are to be fiscally successful There will be several ways. however, that Utah companies and organizations will be able to participate in the sponsorship of localized events that do not compete with or compromise the exclusive sponsorship agreements the major corporations pay for. These local sponsorships could involve festivities surrounding the 2002 Games such as performances by the Utah Symphony Orchestra, Ballet West, Dance Company, ry the Utah Opera Company, and Pioneer Theater performers; art exhibits, ice skating and skiing competitions, snow sculpture events; local theatrical, dance and vocal groups, plus parades, fireworks shows, environmental enhancement projects and cultural exchange programs, to name just ti few. Such activities, and many more surely to surface, can be staged in virtually any Utah community, not just along the Wasatch front, so that every Utahn has the chance to experience the opportunity of hosting the Olympic Games, Each will require sponsors, organizers, financial support, volunteers, hosts and friendly folks who will serve our special brand of hospitality to the worlds visitors while enjoying an incredible cultural exchange. Thats one of the advantages of obtaining the hosting rights to the Olympics some seven years in advance so the host community (the entire state in this case) can have time to conceive, plan and present events locally and to the world that complement the sporting competition and add zest to the Olympic experience of the visitors and locals alike. Our events will showcase to the world our envied lifestyle, our unique cultural diversity, our unselfish volunteer ethic, our unparalleled capacity to host the world, our big city sophistication and small town friendliness, and our commitments to winter sport and to our youth s We have years to plan and prepare for this celebration of peace through sport.
