CHRISTMAS IN THE PARK SEEKING SPONSORSHIPS FOR 2024 EVENT
As we embark on another year of planning and striving to create a positive community event, we are reaching out to request your support through a donation to support the various components of Christmas in the Park. This year’s event will take place on December 7 from 5-8p.m. at Silver Park.
Local contributions have played a pivotal role in helping us achieve our mission in the past, and we are immensely grateful for continued support across the community. In the past few years, we have expanded Christmas in the Park to an event that has more than 8 free interactive stations for families and increased the number of displays at Silver Park.
This year we are looking to expand the activities offered while investing in new light displays that will last for years to come. However, we cannot achieve these goals without the financial support of compassionate individuals and businesses like yours.
Please consider a tax-deductible donation to Friends of the Park. Your contribution, no matter the amount, will make a significant difference in the lives of those we serve. Here are some ways your donation can impact our organization:
• $250 – sponsorship of activity for children and families at the event
• $500 – partial sponsorship of ice sculptor or new light display
• $750 – sponsorship of small light display
• $1,250 – sponsorship of large light display
To make a donation, please mail a check to the Friends of the Parks at 2930 S Union Avenue, Alliance, Ohio 44601. If you have any questions or require additional information, please reach out to committee chair Andrea Lee at alee@ymcastark.org or (330)823-1930.
Your generosity can help our committee create a great event this year while having a lasting impact on what the parks department can offer each year for the holidays. Thank you for considering our request, and for your continued support of our community.
Sincerely,
Andrea Lee, Christmas in the Park Committee Chair
