We're gearing up for 2024 Comal County 4-H Dance Fundraiser on October 19, 2024, at the Columbus Hall in New Braunfels, and it's going to be epic! To make it the best it can be, we need your help with sponsorships.
Think of all the fun things we can have at the event – live band (will be announced later), great barbeque dinner, silent auction items, and games! Sponsorships help us make those things happen.
Here's where you come in! We've attached a cool flyer about the 2024 Comal County 4-H Dance Fundraiser Sponsorships and the 501(c)(3). We'd love for you to show it to your parents, family friends, and even local businesses!
Here's how you can be a Sponsorship Superhero:
-
Talk it up! Tell everyone about the event and how awesome it's going to be. Show them the flyer and explain how sponsorships help make it happen.
-
Target local businesses that might be interested in supporting the Comal County 4-H (restaurants, shops, etc.). You can even offer to help write a short message to go with the flyer.
-
Be polite and enthusiastic! Everyone loves someone who's excited about something.
Every sponsorship counts! The more sponsors we get, the better the event will be for everyone.
