Corporate Sponsorship Program - Current Opportunities

Sponsorship Description: Pinellas County Utilities in seeking an in-kind donation of an all-expenses paid weekend stay at a resort hotel or motel that has implemented water conservation business practices. This donation will serve as the grand prize of a 2006 National Drinking Water Week promotion. Benefits to sponsors may include inclusion of business name and/or logo in all multi-media advertising for Drinking Water Week and promotional opportunities such as radio, television and print associated with the marketing of the below-mentioned special events.
In cooperation with the City of Clearwater, Pinellas County Utilities is seeking to enter a partnership with a resort hotel or motel to raise community awareness about the importance of water conservation. To celebrate National Drinking Water Week and the importance of water and water conservation, Pinellas County Utilities will staff an informational booth at the City of Clearwater's Jazz Festival and Florida Orchestra performance on April 22 and 23, respectively, and the May 6 Fun-n-Sun Parade. Historically, these events have been well attended by citizens from across the Tampa Bay area, thereby creating an opportunity to expose the water conservation message and the partnership between the public and private sector in conserving water. To encourage citizens to visit the booth and thereby increase the opportunity to share important water conservation information with our citizens, Pinellas County Utilities will offer the chance to win a grand prize. Along with the dissemination of informational packets and face-to-face education time, numbered tickets will be distributed at the April 22 and 23 special events. The winning number will be displayed on a banner attached to a Pinellas County Utilities vehicle which will be driven in the May 6 Fun-n-Sun Parade.
