EXACT Sports Partners with PrepSponsor to Expand Sponsor-Support for X1 Showcase Camps and All American International
Partnership introduces a registration-integrated sponsorship tool that helps athletes invite support from their community and local businesses - so families can focus on preparation, not logistics.
CHICAGO — March 4, 2026 — EXACT Sports, a national leader in elite youth athlete development experiences, announced a new partnership with PrepSponsor, an all-in-one sponsorship and fundraising platform designed specifically for student-athletes pursuing high-level opportunities. Through the partnership, PrepSponsor will be integrated into eligible X1 Showcase Camp and All American International registrations—giving families an way to activate community and local-business support as part of the process.
EXACT Sports and PrepSponsor share a clear belief: serious athletes deserve a real pathway to opportunity—and the experience should be structured, empowering, and built for action. Rather than forcing families into manual fundraising efforts, PrepSponsor provides a streamlined system that helps athletes launch a personalized sponsorship campaign in minutes, connect with nearby businesses, and track sponsor activity in real time.
“EXACT exists to serve athletes who are serious about growth—about showing up, being coachable, and taking the next step,” said Brandon Martin, Marketing Director at EXACT Sports. “PrepSponsor fits that mission because it’s community-first, responsibility-forward, and simple to use. It gives families an optional tool to rally support without turning the process into a second job.”
What this partnership enables
As PrepSponsor rolls out across eligible X1 and All American events, EXACT Sports will deploy a unified launch across the athlete and parent experience, including:
Registration-Integrated Campaign Launch: Families can create or auto-activate a PrepSponsor campaign during checkout, then personalize it with the athlete’s story, photos, and goals.
Local Business Sponsorship Outreach: PrepSponsor helps surface nearby businesses and streamlines outreach with templates and automated tools—reducing the need for spreadsheets, manual tracking, or fragmented fundraising links.
Community Sharing and Tracking: Athletes can share their campaign via link and QR code, monitor progress through a dashboard, and thank sponsors as support comes in.
Experience-Level Integration by EXACT Sports: PrepSponsor will be embedded into the registration process, and supported through updated customer support resources—so families receive consistent guidance wherever they interact with EXACT.
Key principles guiding the rollout
Both organizations aligned on four operating principles to ensure the experience matches the expectations of elite opportunities:
Community First: Connecting athletes to local businesses and supporters who want to give back.
Automation with Heart: Technology that simplifies outreach while keeping it personal and athlete-led.
Transparency: Real-time visibility into sponsor activity and campaign progress.
Important notes
PrepSponsor does not guarantee that funds or sponsorships will be raised. Families remain responsible for any remaining balance under EXACT Sports’ standard deposit and installment schedule. Sponsor contributions are processed securely, and a platform/processing fee applies to contributions (including a 10% fee structure as outlined by PrepSponsor).
