Sporting Chance Award

The Sporting Chance Award was started in 1997 as a way for Sports, Inc. to give back to the communities that our members serve. Each year, Sports, Inc. awards $20,000 to an Outdoor Division member and $20,000 to a Team Division member. Since its inception, through our members, Sports, Inc. has donated well over $600,000. In 2014, to commemorate her vision and dedication to Sports, Inc., this award was renamed the Nancy H. Wilson Sporting Chance Award. 2016 Team Division Drawing Winner: Bush-Wells Sporting Goods Casper, WY Sports, Inc. Store #93

Christmas has come early for six Casper youth sports groups. The six — Casper Youth Baseball, Casper Midget Football, Casper Crush baseball, Casper Soccer Club, Casper Hockey and Casper Young Guns baseball — all received equipment they badly needed from local sporting goods retailer Bush-Wells.

“We got 10 hand dummies to use to teach proper tackling technique, and seven really nice shoulder pad racks on wheels to replace these ancient wooden stands we were using,” said Brad Menzel, “equipment monkey” for the Casper Midget Football League. While the number of participants in the fifth-and sixth-

grade league is up, Menzel said revenue is not. “We had to scholarship 35 or 40 kids this season, which is a lot,” he said. The annual registration fee is $100. Menzel estimates that the league, established in 1969, has between 380 and 390 players this season. It is the first chance Casper youth have to play organized tackle

to the community,” Nelson said. The store, in its 54th year, is the only independently owned full- line athletic team supplier in the state. Nelson said the majority of the store’s business is institutional statewide, supplying school athletic teams with everything from uniforms to equipment. Much of

Bush-Wells is a member of Sports Inc., which is the largest sporting goods buying group in the country. It’s made up of independent stores throughout the United States. “The whole idea of the buying group gives us a chance to be competitive with the big-box stores,” Nelson said. At its national tradeshow in June 2016, the membership numbers of all member stores went into a bingo ball tumbler on the stage. And of all of the members nationwide, Bush-Wells was drawn to receive the Sporting Chance grant. “Our number was pulled out and Terry and I looked at each other and said, ‘Nowwhat?’” retail manager Kirk Nelson recalled recently. Bush-Wells was founded in 1963 and is currently owned by Terry Nelson and Pearley Wells III, son of founder Pearley Wells. “Terry and I put our heads together and decided to use the grant to buy equipment that youth groups might need and not have the money for,” Kirk Nelson said. “We contacted groups, took their wish list and then budgeted it out,” he said. In all, more than $30,000 of equipment was issued between spring 2017 and this fall. “We were pleasantly surprised that we received it but felt an obligation, and we were honored to give back

that business is decades old, built on relationships between school administrators and store employees passed down through generations. At the retail location at Center and Collins streets downtown, shoppers can find hockey skates, workout gear, referee clothing, cheerleader uniforms, Wyoming, Natrona and Kelly Walsh branded apparel, as well as fan gear such as stadium seats. In addition to the equipment that Midget Football received, Nelson said Casper Soccer received new goals and baseball groups received field equipment, tarps and L screens for batting practice. “It was a lot of work, figuring out their needs and then trying to meet those needs, but we were very

honored to have that opportunity,” Nelson said. We would like to thank Sally Ann Shurmur of the Casper Star Tribune for writing this article that was published on October 6, 2017.

Notes

smartprocure.us/sports-inc The U.S. government spends $7 trillion per year. Eighty percent of that spending does not go out for public bid. 80%! However, the one place that you can see all of the details of an agency’s spending is on their purchase orders. Purchase orders identify specific sellers, product and service descriptions, quantities, prices, discounts, payment terms, dates and other details. The power comes in bringing all of that information together in one database and making it easily searchable for government vendors. SmartProcure aggregates hundreds of millions of purchase orders from schools, local, state and federal agencies so that businesses that sell into the government can easily see who buys their products, how much they pay and who they purchase them from. Thousands of businesses and government sales managers use SmartProcure to effortlessly find new customers and use pricing intelligence to increase their government wins.
