Sponsorship
As a volunteer-led organization, the Pittsford Jr Panthers depends entirely on the support and generosity of the community. While registration fees cover a large part of our season funding, we rely heavily on the support of community donors. Updated state-of-the-art equipment, uniforms, and the end of year banquet are some of the additional funds we need to round out our season. And that’s where we need community involvement. Please consider one of these sponsorship opportunities to make our season a success—both on and off the field.

Volunteer
The Pittsford Jr Panthers Football & Cheer Organization recognizes the importance that team sports play in children’s lives. We believe that being part of a team extends beyond the field of play. Sportsmanship, teamwork, and camaraderie are foundational life lessons that will make a long term impact. The positive influence of coaches and fan support are integral pieces to the success of every team. Being part of the team extends beyond our players and to our families. Every CHEER and FOOTBALL family is REQUIRED to volunteer in the season.
