Sponsorship Opportunities

Dear Prospective Sponsor: The Town of Huntersville Parks and Recreation Department sponsorship program is designed to effectively market local businesses while making a positive impact on our community. Unlike other traditional forms of advertising, our sponsorships allow a business to be associated with the positive benefits of a community event or recreational program. Whatever your marketing needs, we have distinct partnership opportunities that can complement your plan. Parks and Recreation Facilities make a community more attractive and provide a greater quality of life. With the help from our sponsors, we are able to offer more quality programs and facilities to the residents of Huntersville and the surrounding communities. Your sponsorship plays an important role in shaping our lives, families and homes. Much of the enjoyment and lasting memories of our residents depends on the programs and facilities offered. Your company can help to ensure that we provide only quality programs and our facilities remain in superior condition. By becoming a sponsor and showing your support of our programs and events, you are showing your support for the community. This will in turn make a positive impact on your business. We offer different levels of sponsorships from yearly packages to single event or program levels. There is something affordable for your business big or small. Become a sponsor today and increase your community exposure while benefitting our town and its residents! Sincerely, Tracy M.
