We're doing something similar around events. A few examples: http://www.yourmtb.com/cowbellchallenge http://www.yourmtb.com/ironhorsedownhill These are essentially groups that have some additional fields for event organizers and sponsors. They are all listed in the Featured Events block on the right. We're also doing this on our climbing site at http://www.yourclimbing.com/ - scroll down to see the featured events block on the right. The trick is to get the users to interact with it. IMO that's easier to do with an event than with a sponsor. Of course, you guys could do some killer promos tied to games, community events like blood drives and Boys Clubs, athletes etc. ]]>
