Diamond Sponsor Standby List
As the number of diamond sponsors is limited to four (4), a diamond sponsor standby list will be created in the event a diamond sponsor is unable to fulfill its contract obligations.
If another sponsorship level (gold or silver) has already been purchased, the first customer on the standby list will be offered an upgrade to the diamond sponsorship level by paying the difference in cost. Should the first customer decline this offer, then the second customer on the standby list will be given this opportunity. Additional customers on the standby list will be contacted as needed until all open diamond sponsorships have been filled.
Please email your request to be added to the standby list for diamond sponsorship to pjohnson@csg.org.
