Maple Grove Community Organization (MGCO) is exited to offer Breakfast or Lunch with Santa. With the tradition of Maple Grove Days, and Halloween Family Fun Day, we are beginning plans for our Annual Breakfast or Lunch with Santa and it’s sure to be a success again this year!
The event is scheduled for December 7th, at the Maple Grove Community Center. The fun will be divided into 2 shifts with breakfast 8:30-10:30am and lunch 11:00-1:00pm. Pre-registration is required. We anticipate an attendance of 400 children.
We would like to offer your business/group the opportunity to participate in the fun while putting your marketing dollars to work too! For participation your company will select one of the offered game booths and provide staff/volunteers to work/perform at the booth. In addition you will have the opportunity to provide information to the families about your business/group in a small handout for the adults. Game Sponsorship is covering both times. Another opportunity offers a cash sponsorship with no volunteering or staffing required and company name will be posted at event location.
In addition to reaching out to potential customers, company visibility and supporting the community, MGCO will also list your company as a sponsor on our website for the event.
For additional questions or to participate please contact Jason Pruhs by email at [email protected] by Nov. 24th.
We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to have fun while marketing your business and join us in providing a great event to the youth of Maple Grove and their families.
Thank You
