An Invitation to Our Sponsorship Partners
“As soon as histories are properly told there is no more need of romances.”
~ Walt Whitman
Please Join Us as a Corporate Sponsor
The events, programs and exhibitions that will be presented by the Museums of Old York in 2012 are as imaginative as they are informative. With the opening of the education and exhibition center at the Parsons Center, the museum has been expanding its reach through special exhibitions and exciting new programs. By sharing our history, we foster a sense of place and bring people together to experience and appreciate the heritage of our community.
Sponsorship is a Partnership with a Purpose
People are drawn to companies that value local community resources. Sponsorships partner companies with organizations that people are passionate about, thus adding a higher purpose to their relationship with you. Old York provides several opportunities for your company to make a real difference in our community.
