Sponsorship Information

Christmas in the Park features more than 50 iconic animated displays that your business can sponsor. Display sponsorships include branding directly on the display information sign (see picture) as well as QR code placement directing guests back to your website or social media link. On occasion we have been able to integrate sponsor branding directly into the display features so be sure to inquire if that is possible as part of your sponsorship.

Case Study: Bellarmine College Prep
In 2016 Bellarmine wanted to be a part of Christmas in the Park but at a level that took them beyond just decorating a Christmas tree, but with a limited community budget. We worked with the high school and quickly landed on a display sponsorship. The Nativity Scene is a cherished display at Christmas in the Park and it made perfect sense for Bellarmine to be the presenting sponsor. In addition, we created a custom piece of artwork that showcases the partnership.

Companies are always looking for non-traditional ways to reach people and Christmas in the Park can create experiential marketing at our event that allows you to stand out from the crowd. Whether its creating a new photo opp with your branding incorporated, or something as wild as a snowball fight, let us create an experience that puts your name front and center for our guests.

Case Study: San Jose Clean Energy
In 2018 San Jose Clean Energy approached Christmas in the Park and wanted a unique way to deliver messaging about upcoming energy options in the city of San Jose. Our team created a unique photo op where guests could light up strands of LED Christmas lights that were strung between two giant candy cane poles by plugging in a giant Christmas tree light plug. In addition we created signage that was displayed along one of the main walkways where people could read about the new option in a fun, Christmas themed way.

For the past six years Christmas in the Park has partnered with Habitat for Humanity on our playhouse build competition. Companies dream up a playhouse theme, then actually build the playhouse with the help of Habitat staff. The playhouses are then placed on display at Christmas in the Park for guests to vote for their favorite. After the event the playhouses are donated to a local military support group, Blue Star Moms, who arrange for the houses to be delivered to families who need a pick me up.

Case Study: NetApp
Since the start of the playhouse program, NetApp has always been a participant. Each year they have a team of employees that meet and plan to build the best playhouse they can, not just to create something magical, but because they want to win! The house that receives the most votes wins a trophy we call the Cocoa Cup (pictured right). As the winner in 2018, NetApp proudly displays the award at their corporate headquarters in Sunnyvale.

Because Christmas in the Park is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, chances are, your sponsorship, or a portion of it, is tax deductible. In addition, we can customize a sponsorship based around a particular budget you have in mind. So if the structured pricing below doesn't fit, let us know and we can make something happen for you.
