Advertising in Triton Basketball Game Program
The majority of funding for Triton Basketball derives from sales of advertising in the annual basketball program. Pricing ranges from $850 for a color ad on the back cover to $85 for a black-and-white business card-sized ad on an inside page. The program ads reach a prime demographic for local businesses, families with school-aged children. Ad purchase deadline is Nov. 1, 2016. Click for Game Programming Advertising form

Adopt-A-Player Contributions
A very straight-forward way to support Triton Basketball is the Adopt-A-Player Program. In this program, individuals simply contribute a specific dollar amount in honor of a Triton player. Any dollar amount is welcome. However, contributions of $25 and up are listed under the player's name in the game program. Contributions of $50 and above also earn Triton spirit wear. The higher the amount donated, the nicer the spirit wear package. Click here for a copy of the Adopt-A-Player Form

Courtside Seats at Home Games - Like Jack
One very fashionable way to support Triton Basketball is to purchase courtside seats for all Triton homes games - just like Jack Nicholson at a Lakers game. You'll have the best seat in the house as you watch the Tritons compete for the South Coast League Title. Cost is $120 per seat, and purchases may be made by using the Ad Program form.
