Become a Sponsor

Programs and events hosted by Parks and Recreation are funded by generous sponsorship and volunteer efforts.

This event enriches our Harrisburg neighborhoods by giving kids and their families a fun, safe space to celebrate the holiday learn something new, and enjoy their community. The Parks & Recreation programs and events strive to offer something for everyone. We offer different programs such as art, hip-hop, yoga, African dance, drumming, and more! We also offer annual events to celebrate holidays with activities for the whole family like crafts, food, lawn games, photo opportunities, raffles, live DJ, and more! 

We have various opportunities for individuals and businesses to contribute to these events and our community! Check out our different sponsorship packages below. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor read more about our events, programs, and sponsorship options below!
