_________________________________________________________________SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
One way local families and business can be a part of the fun — besides going down the giant slide or riding the giant swing — is to have their name included as an event sponsor.
Why be a sponsor? The annual event is an important fundraiser for the educational and charitable ministries of St. Patrick’s. It attracts thousands of attendees young and old from the area and represents a significant customer base for local businesses.To ensure that your participation is made widely known, your business’s name is displayed on the front wall of the school for all visitors to see throughout Carnival Week. In addition, the sponsors of Carnival Rides will have their name on a banner attached to a ride and their name frequently broadcast over the Carnival PA system, and will be listed here on our webpage, as well as on our Facebook page and Twitter.
