Coon Rapids Gears Up For Festive Cheer With Annual Tree Lighting Festival, Invites Local Business Sponsorships

The Coon Rapids community is once again preparing to light up the season with its annual Tree Lighting Festival. In a statement obtained by the official City of Coon Rapids website , Stephanie Ring, director of the Community and Recreation Services Department, expressed her appreciation for the partnership, saying, "They're a great partner and love to provide opportunities back to the community."

Local businesses now have a chance to closely align themselves with these community initiatives through the City's Business Sponsorship program. This program offers various levels of participation, ranging from the accessible bronze level to the prestigious platinum tier, allowing businesses both big and small to actively become a part of the city's fabric. "When a business partners with the City, they know they're giving back to the community,” Ring said . “They're really putting their dollars back into their very local community and the residents that live here." By contributing sponsorship dollars, businesses help not just sustain but also critically expand the scope of events and programs that enrich Coon Rapids.

The benefits for businesses that opt to sponsor are multifaceted; participation in the program results in varied promotional opportunities. As detailed on the City's website , sponsors can look forward to acknowledgments on the City's digital platforms, including their website, as well as visibility on various signage throughout the city. "Such as a mention on the website or on different signage," explicated ring, highlighting the marketing advantages that sponsors can expect. Their business name would feature in newsletters and certain email communications, effectively providing a window to reach community members directly.

The Business Sponsorship program extends beyond adult-focused events to embrace the younger residents of Coon Rapids as well. Ring noted that there exist opportunities to sponsor critical youth-centric initiatives like Home Alone Safety, Safety Camp, or Rec On The Spot program. "We have sponsorships available for youth programming that would go towards our Home Alone Safety, Safety Camp, or our Rec On the Spot program,” she said. Through such engagements, businesses can unequivocally demonstrate their support for the well-being and development of Coon Rapids' youth. Any businesses interested in fostering a connection with the community through this program can conveniently apply by visiting the City's website and filling out an interest form.
