Event / Program Application for Co-Sponsorship

The Leisure Services Department may authorize co-sponsorship of events and activities in partnership with non-profit organizations that provide recreational, cultural, or community services. Co-sponsored events must align with the Department’s mission, be open to the public, and provide a clear community benefit.

Offer an event that is free for public entry (no general admission fees).
Ensure that fundraising is not the primary purpose of the event. Sale of goods or services may be permitted if proceeds are dedicated to a recreational purpose.

Application Process
