We are having another great year at Partners for Parks, as our neighbors seek the natural beauty of our parks and recreation centers for a safe way to recharge their lives with both peace and activity. Nature Centers have fully opened after a long year of limited programming, and we’re reaching underserved areas of Mecklenburg County with new partnerships and activities to increase equity and access to parks in those areas! We are excited that we have added four new members to our Partners for Parks Board, and see new perspectives as we reach out and enhance parks to build community across Mecklenburg County and the region. It is on this bold path that Partners for Parks is kicking off our Annual Sponsorship Campaign. We need your help by continuing your Annual Sponsorship or becoming an Annual Sponsor. Due to the continuing COVID pandemic, we regret that we will not be able to hold our Annual Sponsors and Award Celebration in 2021 – so we need your help more than ever to continue our partnership with Mecklenburg County and the surrounding region to Breathe Life Into Our Community. We believe Parks Build Community and with your help, we can continue to make a difference in Mecklenburg County and the surrounding region. As we’ve seen from the increased park use during the COVID pandemic, parks are more important than ever – and your support makes a difference. Please continue your support with an Annual Sponsorship, or become a new Annual Sponsor if you haven’t joined us already. Annual Sponsorship levels are as follows:

    • Presenting Annual Sponsor – $5,000 or more
    • Sustaining Annual Sponsor – $2,500
    • Premier Annual Sponsor – $1,000
    • Patron Annual Sponsor – $500
    • Donor Annual Sponsor – $250
    • Friend of Partners for Parks – $100

Annual Sponsors will be recognized on our website for the next year. Thank you for your partnership in the past. We hope you’ll help us continue to support parks and recreation throughout Mecklenburg County and the surrounding region. With your help, we can Breathe Life Into Our Community.
