A look ahead at the 2020-21 Season

Solomon Racquet and Sports has become the driving force behind racquetball tournaments in the Boston area. Founder and Owner, Stewart Solomon, started playing racquetball at 13 and has been passionate about the sport ever since. From starting a racquetball club in college, to competing at local and national events, to serving on State and National Boards and finally to running events throughout the indoor racquetball season (September through May). All of the Solomon Racquet and Sports events have a driving cause benefiting from the event

Since its opening in November 2008, the AstraZeneca Hope Lodge Center in Boston has provided over 94,000 nights of free lodging to 2,850 cancer patients from 48 states and 15 countries, saving them more than $17 million in housing costs.

To make these events as successful as possible, they require sponsors. In exchange for their support, sponsors have special perks associated with each event. The sooner a sponsor signs up to support an event, the increased visibility that sponsor will receive through the tournament publications itself (greater than 3000 recipients) as well as multiple social platforms reaching over 1800 users. Events are held at various facilities around the Metro Boston area where in addition to the roughly 70 payers plus fans, family and friends, the regular guests of those facilities will pass through the front door over the course of a three day event. Additionally, all events are broadcast live online for viewers to watch remotely, or review after the event has ended. This provides additional avenues for sponsors to be mentioned and possible commercial time if applicable. Should a sponsor be interested in supporting more than one event, a discount is available in exchange for the extended support. Contact us at solomonracquetandsports@gmail.com for details.
