The Irish Cultural Society of Arkansas is preparing for Little Rock’s 13th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday, March 17, 2012. Last year’s parade was a huge success featuring marching units, bands, over 90 floats, Irish dancers, pipers and people of all ages having fun. Each year the parade gets bigger and better, providing economic and cultural benefits to our community.
The Parade is funded mainly by donations from individuals and local companies. As the Parade has grown each year, so have costs associated with police security, headline entertainment and advertising.
This year we invite your company to consider being a major sponsor of the Parade. In return for your sponsorship, we offer your company a number of promotional benefits and opportunities including your company’s name, link and logo on the Parade website and media exposure through advertising and publicity efforts. Please review the major sponsorship levels by clicking on the links below:
Thank you for your consideration of the 13th Annual Little Rock St. Patrick’s Day Parade. One of us will be in contact with you soon in follow-up to this letter.
Sincerely,
Tim Ryan
