As 2013 athletic programs through the Mahomet Parks and Recreation Department come to a close, MPRD has begun the annual sponsorship drive for 2014.
“During this time of year it’s easy to be thankful,” MPRD Parks and Recreation Director Dan Waldinger said. “We can’t thank our sponsors enough. Our sponsors really make a difference in our quality of life through their financial support.”
Sponsorship revenues offset costs associated with the purchase of participant uniforms, program equipment, advertising, facility improvements and maintenance. Contributions also help fund scholarship programs which allow children with financial challenges to participate.
Sponsorship contributions, which are completely tax dectutible, account for over 10 percent of MPRD’s recreation budget, allowing them to keep recreation fees consistent as the cost of doing business continues to rise.
“Sponsoring our youth programs and special events is much more than getting your name on a t-shirt that kids wear year round,” Waldinger said. “It’s supporting a better quality of life, community involvement and much, much more.”
