MWRSPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
WHAT IS COMMERCIAL SPONSORSHIP?
WHAT DOES COMMERCIAL SPONSORSHIP DO FOR YOU?
A commercial business is given the opportunity to become part of a Fort Gordon MWR event or program by paying a monetary and/or in-kind fee in return for access to the attendees and the commercial potential associated with the event. Commercial sponsorship is not a donation or gift since it is a business-based exchange designed to enhance the event and the experience. Sponsorship fees are reinvested into MWR programs and events so MWR can fulfill its mission in providing the highest quality of life programming to our service members, families, retirees and civilians. Commercial sponsorship may be used only for MWR events and programs. Unit events, family support groups, private organizations and non-MWR programs are not eligible for commercial sponsorship support.
