THIS ONE IS FOR THE KIDS! SPONSORING THIS EVENT:

It’s our 16th year of the What’s Your Big Idea Entrepreneurship Contest, and we would love your support to make this the best one yet. For two years, the hundreds of finalists we’ve had for this event have had to celebrate virtually, and we are thrilled to bring the event back to UTA’s College Park Center. On Saturday, April 30, we are recognizing 750+ AISD students for their big, entrepreneurial ideas, and we anticipate 3,500+ attendees joining us for the event.

We have created some new sponsorship opportunities this year that allow your logo and company name to be visible more than ever! We’ve outlined below just some of the opportunities. We want to work with you and your business to create a sponsorship that’s the perfect fit. If you’re interested but need help finding the right level or want to create something new, please let us know.

$2,000 – Finalists Recognition Sponsors – New this year, we are looking for 6 businesses for this opportunity! We have six grade levels of students being recognized at the event, 3rd-8th grade. Your business name and logo would be recognized at the beginning on the grade-level and the end when we read the names of all the students finalists from the grade level. Your logo will also be featured on the event tshirt and in the printed program. In addition, you’ll also receive an exhibit booth to connect with these AISD students and their families before and after the main event if you’re interested.

$4,000 – Registration Sponsor – This is an exclusive opportunity. Your business logo will be featured above the registration tables, on the registration signage and on the registration packets. You can stage greeters at the event to welcome the 3,500+ students and families. In addition, you have the opportunity to add a coupon or voucher in all 700+ student finalist packets they pickup from registration. As an exclusive sponsorship, you can provide a 30-second video that will play on the arena screens during the preshow. This sponsorship also includes an exhibit table.

$4,000 – Parking Sponsor – This is an exclusive opportunity. Your business logo will be on signage outside of the parking garage as people enter, and you’ll have the opportunity to hand out flyers to AISD students and families as they enter or leave College Park Center. We encourage you to have greeters outside highlighting your business and connect with all attendees.
