Parks and Recreation Department-Hosted Events Sponsorship Program
Tucson Parks and Recreation hosts multiple special events throughout the year which are free to the community. We would not be able to host these events without the generous support of local businesses. Tucson Parks and Recreation's sponsorship program is designed to effectively market local businesses while making a positive impact on our community. Unlike other traditional forms of advertising, our sponsorship program allows your organization to be actively associated with community events and the positive benefits resulting from them.
