Fantastic Sponsorship Options with PRPS
Sponsorship is an important way to support the work of PRPS and offers your business or organization the chance to engage directly with key decision-makers from Pennsylvania's park and recreation agencies, as well as other firms and professionals in the field.
PRPS sponsors are a business or person who provides financial or in-kind support to the Society for its mission-based work, and receives a defined package of opportunities, exposure, recognition or marketing in exchange for this sponsorship. These partnerships are based on supportive engagement with the work that PRPS does and its members.
