Support goes a long way for those on the receiving end
They sure stand out.
That’s been the overall message Cory Marsch has heard as his daughter and her curling rink have travelled around the province competing this year.
“Everyone comments on the outfits,” says Marsch, a Stream-Flo Level III Service Technician at our Estevan shop. “They think they’re really cool.”
Affixed front and centre to the outfits and helping them stand out is the Stream-Flo logo. Recognition of the sponsorship we have provided the young curlers who have made the leap to the competitive circuit this year after curling at the high school level last season.

That leap has brought with it additional travel and associated costs. A challenge the young ladies took on headfirst.
“The girls were responsible for getting all the sponsors and doing all the leg work for their uniforms,” explained Marsch. “I drove them around but they were the ones to actually go into the stores and reach out for them.”
That included reaching out to our corporate giving and sponsorship department. And showing how our logo would look on the uniform design Cory’s daughter created.
Very good, it turns out.
“I see that logo on there…it looks sharp,” said Marsch.
With the rink in the beginning stages of their season and still finding their footing against stiffer competition, the sponsorship from Stream-Flo has at least put them on firmer financial ground.
“Every dollar helps,” said Marsch. “The support really does go a long way.”
Marsch’s daughter isn’t the only kid in his house rocking a Stream-Flo logo as they pursue their athletic passion.
His 10-year-old son has also received support for his U-11 Bears hockey team.
“My wife joked we have two Stream-Flo kids this year,” laughed Marsch.
For the proud SFI employee, he says it feels great to see the logo he knows so well while watching his kids play the sports they love.
“It’s the commitment,” explained Marsch. “It’s like the company being on the ice with them.”
Which it is. Both literally and figuratively.
Cory’s specific story is one that shines the spotlight on the good our corporate giving achieves. How the communities in which we live and work benefit from our presence.
It’s a special story. And one that has played out many times in rinks and arenas, and on fields and diamonds.
With many proud parents, watching their kid play a sport they love, spotting a familiar logo while doing so.
