Weather Insurance Coverage Pays Off for Youth Baseball Team

weather insurance coverageLeawood, Kan. – Ever wonder if weather insurance is worth the investment?  Imagine if your golf tournament was an essential part of your annual budget and you woke up to an unseasonably late snowfall.

This May, the Kansas City Royals weren’t the only baseball team that had to cancel a big event thanks to a late season snowstorm. On May 3, 2013, the KC Rays, a travelling youth baseball team, had to cancel their annual golf fundraiser at the Prairie Highlands Golf Course in Olathe, after Winter Storm Achilles delivered an historic amount of late season snow to the Midwest and parts of the South.  The golf event, which raised just over  $7,000 for travel expenses and uniforms, is a critically important part of the team’s annual fundraising efforts.

However, thanks to Odds On Promotions, this cloudy situation ended up having a very silver lining. That’s because the KC Rays had taken out a weather insurance policy to ensure that the bad weather didn’t spoil their entire season. The team’s event was insured for $7,200, which meant that the season wouldn’t be a complete bust.

According to Branden Banks with Haas and Wilkerson, who helped the KC Rays secure their coverage, “This insurance coverage was a huge safety net for the team – there just wouldn’t have been enough time to recoup what the golf tournament generated. Our Odds On Promotions representative, Damien Anderson, kept me posted throughout the claims process. He was great to work with. Having this coverage took the burden off of everyone. The team was very grateful.”

Interested in protecting your event from whatever weather Mother Nature may throw your way? Give us a call today at 888-827-2249 for more information on weather insurance for your upcoming event or with any questions you may have!

Baseball Promotion Worth $1,000,000 Insured By Trading Card Company

baseball promotion - beat the streakIt doesn’t matter what kind of business you are, anyone can insure a baseball promotion!  Just take it from Zak Woodhead, Risk Manager with Odds On Promotions who’s working with a large trading card company to insure a “hit the streak” baseball promotion that’s sure to be a homerun with the company’s customers all season long!

Big Dollar Baseball Promotion

During this 7-month-long baseball promotion, customers who purchase trading cards will receive a unique code.  After logging onto the company’s website, customers will create an account and use their code to ‘unlock’ a baseball player.  The more cards a customer purchases, the more opportunities they’ll have to score another code, log on and unlock additional players!

Each day, customers will utilize their “team” of  unlocked players to choose one that they think will get a hit that day.  If the chosen player ends up getting a hit, then a ‘streak’ is started.  If any customer ends up breaking the 56-game hitting streak, then Odds On will pay out… to the tune of $1,000,000!  Smaller client-insured prizes will also be given away during the course of the promotion.
