TOGETHER, WE ARE MORE!

Local Business and Individual Sponsorships are always so important for a Parks and Recreation Department's success. Our goal is to provide our citizens and visitors with exceptional recreational opportunities to enhance their quality of life and to give children an outlet to exercise, learn team building, relieve anxiety and to just have fun. You can help us achieve this goal promoting your business, or self, and connecting with your community. Without sponsors, we cannot continue to grow our programs for our community's ever-changing needs. 

BENEFITS OF BEING AN SPR SPONSOR:

  • Advertising dollars in your community.
  • Products and services branding awareness.
  • Consistent target market outreach with enhanced public image.
  • Reciprocal sales to future customers and family connections.
  • Alignment with a reputable organization.
  • Demonstrate "get-active" support for youth, parks and healthy lifestyles.
  • Brand recognition on SPR website, Facebook and printed materials.

To help maximize the benefits of sponsoring a program, event, league, tournament, etc. we've created a list of ways to work together, both financially and non-monetarily. We hope you'll look over the options and find which opportunity would work best for you so we can work together to meet the needs of our community. We cannot continue to grow without the support of our citizens. New to 2023 will also be an Adopt-A-Park program and Volunteer Committee! 

It is important to us that a sponsorship works for an individual/business/organization by gaining the most value as a sponsor participant. Please review the following information and learn how we can help you extend your brand presence in the Sikeston area while contributing to your community. 

OVER 15,000 VISITORS TO OUR PARKS ANNUALLY. SPONSORSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ALL BUDGETS!
