The U.C. Celebration planning committee
The U.C. Celebration planning committee is looking for sponsors for the 4th of July festival, known as U.C. Celebration.
We have an opening for the trolley which runs up and down Governor Drive during the event. The trolley sponsor would be able to place their advertising on the trolley as well as receive recognition in all flyers, posters, and newsletter and Internet articles.
We can also gladly utilize any other donations, either as prizes or to offset the cost of the event. All inquires are appreciated. Please, contact Andy at [email protected].
