Become a sponsor/donor.

Christmas in the Park is a community-based and community-funded non-profit organization. To keep this magical event free to the thousands of visitors each year, we depend on grants, corporate sponsorships and donations to produce this annual five-week event.

We have a variety of sponsorships available from sponsored trees to sponsoring a display or the Santa Booth. Please contact us to have one of our board members call you to discuss all the possibilities.

Sponsorships are available from $200

For $200 you can sponsor a section of fence. Your name plaque will be placed on the section and displayed every year. Download the form now.

Christmas in the Park is filled with more than 600 trees.  For a $400 donation, you and your employees or friends can decorate an 8' tree. We’ll credit your donation with a sign underneath the tree and a listing on our website.

$500 will replace the sound system in one of the existing displays. Some of the holiday music is still played on outdated cassette tape players. Your donation will provide low maintenance digital sound.

Sponsor Existing Displays

Each year we look for sponsorship to renovate some of our displays. This often includes a fresh coat of paint, new costumes for the animation, additional animation or lights, and possibly a new sound system. The sponsorship is usually available from one to three years. Signs will be placed on the refurbished display to recognize the donor. Please contact us for more information on how to keep the magic alive. Christmas in the Park depends of community involvement and sponsorship.
