Sponsorships
On average, between 10,000 and 15,000 people attend Spud Day. That means the event is a great opportunity for advertising.
There are four sponsorship levels ranging from up to $250 to $1200 or more.
Those giving $250 or less will get a thank you with the business’ name in the Community Pioneer.
Those giving $1200 or more will get to display a company banner of any size at the main entertainment stage, the business’ logo on the Spud Day website under the Sponsor tab, free entry into the parade, free booth space, an MC announcement from the stage, business’ name on storefront fliers promoting Spud Day and a thank you in the Community Pioneer.
All proceeds go to benefit the Kiwanis Club of Shelley and the community service projects they support.
