Sponsorships
Bench Sponsorship
The Schuylkill Banks Adopt-a-Bench program offers you the opportunity to honor someone special, commemorate an occasion, or establish a memorial. Your bench adoption includes:
- An engraved 4" x 6" stainless steel plaque mounted on the back of an existing bench along the Schuylkill Banks Trail (south of the Fairmount Dam). Only one plaque will be installed on any bench unless the sponsor specifies otherwise.
- Maintenance of the plaque is guaranteed for a period of 7 years. SRDC will clean, repair or replace any plaques that need servicing during this period. Following this period, the plaque will remain on the bench but repair/replacement is not guaranteed.
- You can select any bench you want, as long as it is available and suitable.
- Plaques can support up to five lines of text (approximately 16 words). We will work with you on layout and attempt to get you what you want. SRDC reserves the right to approve all text, which must be suitable for a public venue. Line art graphics, including logos, can be included as space permits.
- A certificate authenticating your bench sponsorship.
- Four complimentary tickets to Secrets of the Schuylkill riverboat tour ($100 value). Reservations required.
These bench sponsorships are offered at $2,000 per bench. Please call 215-309-5523 x100 or email [email protected] for more information.
Corporate Sponsorship
SRDC relies on the generosity of corporations, institutions, and foundations to support its operating budget. These stakeholder contributions are vital for supporting essential operations tasks like trail maintenance, staffing events, and paying for our lean and mean team of staff and contractors who are working to expand and improve Schuylkill Banks. Sponsorships are also available to help support Schuylkill Banks programming, which includes riverboat tours, kayak tours, movie nights, and volunteer cleanup events. Please call 215-309-5523 or email [email protected] for more information about becoming a Schuylkill Banks Stakeholder or Program Sponsor.
