Greeley-Evans School District 6 is seeking sponsors for the annual School Kickoff Community Celebration, to be held Saturday, August 6 from 9 a.m. to noon at Island Grove Regional Park.
This is an annual event District 6 has hosted since 2013, and has grown into a huge celebration of the beginning of the school year. The August 6 School Kickoff will return to an in-person event, barring any unforeseen health orders. During this event, the school district gives out thousands of backpacks filled with school supplies to District 6 students, provides on-site sports physicals and vaccinations for students, gives out food to families, provides student entertainment as well as hosts more than 60 community organizations and vendors who provide services and activities for our families. The School Kickoff can draw up to 6,000 people.
District 6 is hoping to provide 5,000 backpacks filled with school supplies. More sponsors are needed to reach that goal.
Sponsors can help with this event in many ways:
- $5,000 will buy 300 backpacks filled with school supplies
- $3,000 will buy 200 backpacks and help fund the free food
- $2,000 will buy 100 backpacks filled with school supplies
- $1,000 will buy 100 backpacks
- $500 will help purchase school supplies to go inside the backpacks
- $250 will help purchase food for the event
- $100 will buy pencils for 200 backpacks
Each sponsorship level has marketing and publicity opportunities for businesses and organizations, as well as a free community booth at the event. A donation to District 6 is tax deductible.
