The Grants Pass Active Club is extending you an invitation to be a "BOATNIK SPONSOR" for the 2012 Boatnik Festival. A sponsorship offers you and your company an association with Southern Oregon's premier weekend event--BOATNIK! You will have an opportunity to increase your visibility with the largest single audience in this region.

Without sponsors like you, the Grants Pass Active Club would not have the funds to make this the greatest event in Southern Oregon. But most of all, without you we would not be able to see the smiling faces of the children that benefit from your generosity. As a Boatnik sponsor, you will also receive many benefits as listed below.

We are asking you to act now and join us for Boatnik 2012. The deadline for sponsorship in order to be listed on all printed material is April 17, 2012. Your contribution is not only an investment in our community, but in the future of our children!
