"YOU'VE BEEN SNOWBALLED" SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY

Your local small business can become a sponsor for this amazing community event!

By Cheryl Lachendro- Publisher November 5, 2020

This year has been a whirlwind of surprises, changes, and tons of cancellations. We know it's been hard on you and your business because it's been hard for us too! 

We LOVE bringing family fun events to the community that not only provide a free outing for families but a way for you to connect your business with those families. And just like everyone else we have had to adapt and get creative in finding ways to continue to reach those goals. Which brings us to this new opportunity that we know you will love....

SURPRISE WINTER FUN FOR LOCAL FAMILIES!

"YOU'VE BEEN SNOWBALLED" SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY

The Holiday season will most likely look different for a lot of children this year. There will be less events and public gatherings than ever before. Let’s help spread some snowy cheer by "Snowballing" 100 local families and start the “Pay It Forward” movement throughout the month (each family that gets Snowballed will be encouraged to Snowball at least 1-2 more families)… think of the joy we can spread throughout the city with our Snowball Effect!





HOW YOU CAN SPONSOR THIS FLURRY OF FUN & KINDNESS!

Macaroni Kid is aiming to make 100 Snowball Baskets to kick off the fun. This means we will gather all the swag which we will use to fill the baskets.  We will also arrange the delivery of all the bags and document the adventure on social media.

Your company/business logo will appear on the flyer that will accompany each basket and be delivered throughout our area. Your name and logo will also be included on all marketing materials used to promote this activity, including an article detailing this project that will be sent out in our weekly newsletter to approximately 7500 families so that they can download the flyers and create their own You've Been Snowballed baskets.

Sponsorships start at $100...that's just $1 per basket to be part of this awesome and memorable community project!

NOT SURE HOW YOU SNOWBALL SOMEONE?

  • Fill a Winter themed basket full of goodies (candy, glow sticks, stickers, decals, straws, etc).
  • Place your 'You've Been Snowballed' printouts in the basket.
  • Leave your basket on a doorstep, ring the doorbell and run!
  • The recipient opens the door to see they have been Snowballed! Kids are delighted by the surprise goodies and the instructions inside explain to them that they must now make a basket or two and continue to Snowball. In our experience, they love this more than the candy!
  • They will then place the other handout in the basket in their window, which tells everyone else in the neighborhood that they have been Snowballed and not to leave another basket.
  • The idea is that the fun of Snowballing continues through the month of December.
