Marion County Father-Daughter Dance · February 5 & 6, 2027
Six levels, from a single named night at the top to a name on the wall. Every level puts your business in front of Marion County families across both evenings, and keeps it there, in print and online, all season.
Sponsorships for 2027 are open
Why businesses partner
Sponsorship is what keeps ticket prices reachable and the room worth walking into. It covers the venue, the dinner service, the DJ, the photographers, and everything on the dessert tables. Without it, the night either costs families more or becomes less than it is.
Digital display at the dance across both evenings, sized to your level, in front of every family who walks in.
Your logo on this site and on the ticket purchase page from October, through the marketing push that runs to event night in February.
This is not a marketing event with a cause attached. It is a community event your business helped happen, and families remember it that way.

Not a sponsorship level
These are separate from the levels above. A business can do one, the other, or both.
A dinner, a spa afternoon, a rental, a service, or anything else your business can put up. It goes into the online auction, which runs January 18 to February 1, 2027. The full donation guidelines are on the auction page.
Packages need to be confirmed before the end of December so there is time to photograph and list them.
Not every business wants recognition, and not every budget fits a level. Contributions of any size go straight into the event.
The process
Five steps, most of them ours.
Or tell us a number and we will tell you which level it lands in.
Online or on the PDF form from the packet, whichever is easier.
Vector if you have it (.svg, .eps, .ai), otherwise a large PNG with a transparent background. Artwork is needed by the print deadline to appear on printed material; digital placements can be added later.
Ticket codes for sponsorships are sent out within 24 hours of your sponsorship payment being received.
Website and social placements start as soon as artwork is in. Display and in-room recognition happen across both evenings in February.
Sponsor questions
Online, in a few minutes. Choose a level and fill in the short application, and a secure Givebutter checkout opens with your level already selected. If you would rather pay by check, choose that on the application and we will email you where to send it. Ticket codes for your complimentary tickets are sent out within 24 hours of your sponsorship payment being received.
February 4, 2027. Sponsorship funding and logos must be received by 2/4/2027 in order to be displayed at the dance and on billboards. The earlier you commit, the more of the October-to-February marketing window your logo is in. Presenting is limited to one business.
Vector art is best: .svg, .eps, or .ai. If you do not have it, send the largest PNG you have with a transparent background. We will come back to you if it will not hold up at display size.
Yes, and several businesses do. They are separate. Sponsorship is a level with defined recognition; an auction package is a donated item that gets bid on. Doing both is welcome.
Please contact us for the organization’s current tax status before treating a sponsorship as a deductible contribution.
Use the form below or email us directly. Someone will come back to you with the levels still available and the deadlines that apply.
