To answer this question, you must first ask yourself, “Why do businesses get involved in sponsorships?” Surprisingly, the answer is simple.

If you're organizing a fundraiser or other large community event, you want your function to go off without a hitch and attract a large crowd. There's no better way to get community participation than to offer some kind of amazing prize via an exciting giveaway, contest, or promotion. It could be a cash prize to the winner of your 5K or a brand-new car from the local dealership for kicking a 50-yard field goal at halftime. 

Whatever your prize, promotions like this are a great way to incentivize community participation. But have you ever wondered who pays for the prizes and giveaways?  

When the people in your community sign up for your 5K promoted by Grand Prize Promotions, they will reap more benefits than they’ll know what to do with.
