Fort Lee Directorate Family Morale, Welfare and Recreation (FMWR) Commercial Sponsorship Program
What is Commercial Sponsorship?
The Commercial Sponsorship Program offers you, the Sponsor, the opportunity to present your company’s message in a variety of creative ways to the military community. Sponsorship gives you access to our customers, helps you build goodwill and creates brand recognition among this loyal and growing market. Sponsorship seeks to partner local businesses with FMWR programs, services or events which will enhance the Soldiers experience while providing a benefit to the community.
What are the benefits?
By partnering with Fort Lee FMWR, you gain access to a vast market of well-educated, financially-stable consumers. This is your opportunity to gain loyal customers; both military and civilian, while helping us offer our Soldiers and their families a variety of high-quality programs, events and services.
How much will it cost?
Sponsorship varies by event, type and variety of exposure you receive. Your sponsorship may be in the form of cash, products or services, or a combination of all three. Sponsorship is not a charitable donation. We will do our part to ensure that you receive the value you desire from your investment in FMWR. Our goal is “win-win.”
As a sponsor, you can support an individual event, an entire yearly program or simply provide In-Kind support. You may provide full underwriting or partial financial support for one or for a group of FMWR programs or activities. Door prizes and giveaways are always welcome.
What events can I sponsor?
All activities and events operated by Fort Lee FMWR organizations are eligible for sponsorship support. FMWR operates the Youth and School Age Services, the Cardinal Golf Course, two Fitness Centers, the Fort Lee Bowling Center, four Recreational Clubs Army Community Services, and the Single Soldier Program (BOSS). Annual events include the Armed Forces Day Celebration, Fourth at the Fort Independence Day Celebration, Grand Illumination Christmas Tree Lighting and the 9/11 Freedom Walk.
Are there any other advertising options?
One of the most popular advertising options is to participate in our Welcome Packet Program for incoming Soldiers. You may also want to consider sponsoring a banner on our webpage www.leemwr.com, placing an ad in our new magazine, At Ease, becoming a tee marker sponsor on the Cardinal Golf Course, becoming a field or facility sponsor, or using one of our display parking spaces for a car, boat, motorcycle or camper.
How do I become a sponsor?
We may solicit you to be a sponsor or you may come to us with a proposal. Solicited sponsors are selected in a competitive process similar to awarding a contract. In all cases, a formal agreement outlining our mutual obligations and responsibilities is signed by both parties.
