Toadvine Blog

In case you haven’t seen or heard, there’s a new trend in high school and middle school athletics, VIP seating. It’s like what you see in college: a select section of the stands is devoted to VIP seating, with season tickets being sold for each seat.

The trend we’re starting to see in high school athletics—which is also a great fundraiser for the school—is installing a section of VIP seats and selling season tickets for these seats at a higher rate than normal admission to the game.

Toadvine Enterprises is very grateful and appreciative of our customers and their support over the years. We wanted to show our appreciation by giving back, so we’re launching our Good Samaritan Program. The mission of our Good Samaritan Program is to promote benevolence and compassion and encourage others to give back.

Here’s how it works: Whenever a school purchases VIP seating from Toadvine, we will buy two season tickets from that school to help with the fundraising efforts. The tickets will be given back to the school, and the school can then award the tickets to a good samaritan in their community. The good samaritan could be a teacher, parent, fan, or someone else deserving—it’s up to the school to decide.

This is where it gets even more fun. We’ve be created a Good Samaritan page on our website and will publish a “Good Samaritan of the week” post along with a picture, name of the school, and short write-up on that page.

We’re also encouraging you to get involved by posting pictures and stories about the good samaritan winner on our Facebook page.

All schools in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Southern Ohio can take part in the Good Samaritan Initiative, and we look forward to sharing your stories each week.

If you want to get involved, you can get started here.

Nevco has a great offer out on scoreboards that we wanted to pass along.

From now until the end of November, if you order any two indoor basketball, volleyball, or wresting scoreboards with a wireless package, you’ll receive a free 8′×2′ sponsor sign with your school name and color.

The sponsor sign is valued at $350. If you’re in the market for a new indoor scoreboard, now is a great time to seriously consider buying. You’ve got until the end of November to take advantage of this special from Nevco.

You can sign up for our newsletter here. Keep Toadvine Enterprises in mind throughout the school year for any athletic equipment needs that may arise. You can contact us online anytime, day or night, and be guaranteed a quick, 24-hour response.

Any improvements you make to your school, facility, playing field, or gym equipment is an important one. Especially for custom work, you want to make sure you’re getting exactly what you want and that the manufacturer understands any time constraints, budget limitations, and specific details that you have.

That’s why we think it’s important to offer a free initial on-site so we make sure we’ve spoken to you face-to-face and know exactly what it is you need.

If you would like us to schedule a visit to your facility, please fill out this form. You’ll receive a confirmation email and someone from our office will get in touch with you soon to schedule a meeting. On-site visits are available based on location and current scheduling, but rest assured, your project is very important to us.

If you have any questions before you’re ready to schedule an on-site visit, you can contact us through our website or call our office at 502.241.6010.

Although Toadvine Enterprises is known mostly for providing athletic equipment, maintenance services, and stadium seating, we want people to think of us when they’re looking for more than those things.

We can also service businesses and organizations that have nothing to do with athletics. Think churches for a minute. One of our manufacturers, Seating Concepts, provides auditorium seating for many different purposes. Their comfortable auditorium chairs have been installed in a number of different churches and worship centers, and come in a variety of designs to match existing interiors.

Seating Concepts also provides seating for places like cinemas and theaters, civic venues, and stadiums and arenas.

I urge you to check out Seating Concept’s product page for photos, details, and free downloads providing more information. You can also contact us directly if you have any questions or would like a quote on these products.
