Tolu Smith, Mississippi’s own NBA player and the first Hawai’i high school graduate to play in the NBA since 1957. On June 6th, Tolu is bringing his roots back to Bay St. Louis, 3-on-3 basketball tournament and we are seeking brand partners who want to be part of something historic.
This isn’t just a basketball tournament. It’s a homecoming. Tolu’s story — from Bay St. Louis to Meridian, Mississippi, to Mississippi State University where he earned 2x First-Team All-SEC honors and scored over 1,500 points as a Bulldog, to the G League, to a guaranteed 2-year contract with the Detroit Pistons — is the kind of story that resonates across cultures, generations, and communities. His Afro-Samoan heritage, his deep faith, and his commitment to family and community make him one of the most authentic and compelling rising stars in the NBA.
As a tournament sponsor, your brand will receive:
• Prominent logo placement at the event and on all promotional materials
• Social media features across Tolu’s platforms to his growing national fanbase
• On-site brand activation opportunities with a highly engaged local community
• Association with one of the NBA’s most unique and marketable stories
• Access to content creation opportunities with Tolu at the event
The attached sponsorship package outlines available tiers, benefits, and partnership details in full.
Tolu’s moment is now, and first-mover brands have the opportunity to grow alongside him as his platform continues to expand. We would love to have your business, product or services be a part of this celebration on June 6th.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I’d love to connect for a quick call to discuss how we can make this partnership a success.
Warm regards,
