San Jose Sharks
The San Jose Sharks Community Relations Department offers in-kind donation items (autographed merchandise) for non-profit organizations that serve youth and family services, youth education and/or those groups that provide enrichment activities for the underserved. We ask that organizations seeking a donation understand the following: • The San Jose Sharks no longer accept donation requests via mail, email, fax or telephone. All donation requests must now be submitted online • Requests must be received at least six (6) weeks prior to the event date • No telephone or email follow-ups will be accepted • If approved, all items donated are at the discretion of the San Jose Sharks • The San Jose Sharks will not accept items to be autographed and cannot mail any items outside of North America
Because the Sharks receive hundreds of donation requests each week, the demand far outweighs our ability to offer support via item donation. Therefore, the Sharks do not have items in our inventory that are designated for the following: • Schools, athletic programs and organizations outside of the Bay Area Pre-schools, nursery schools, or private schools • Individual participation fundraisers (walk-a-thons, Team-in-Training, Relay For Life, etc.) • Second party fundraising initiatives • Recreational activities (camps, scout troops, sports leagues, field trips, graduation nights, etc.) • Political or religious groups • Incentive programs
