2025 SPONSORSHIP GUIDE
Why Sponsor Park & Recreation Programs?
Family-Centered Engagement: Park and Recreation programs draw families, meaning sponsors reach parents, children, and extended family members - a valuable demographic for long-term brand loyalty
Intergenerational Appeal: Many programs, from youth sports to senior-friendly events, attract a diverse range of age groups, allowing sponsors to connect with multiple segments within the community. Community Support: By sponsoring Park & Recreation, companies signal their investment in local wellbeing, which is appreciated by residents and builds goodwill.
Interactive Brand Engagement: Sponsors can set up interactive booths and engage attendees in memorable experiences that make their brand stand out
Health and Wellness Promotion: Supporting Park & Recreation programs aligns with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals related to health, wellness, and environmental sustainability by encouraging people to engage in outdoor activities and lead active lifestyles.
