BES Offers Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities for the 2020 BES Parent Social and Athletic ProgramsOver the years, we have been blessed with tremendous support from a variety of corporate sponsors, and we thank all who have given so generously. To better serve our community more effectively, we have implemented new guidelines for corporate sponsorships. Please look at the BES Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities for the 2020 Parent Social and Athletic Programs. This will be sent home in backpacks today as well. The sponsorships included in this package will end in June of 2020 so that we can align our sponsorship offerings with the academic year. With the merger of BES and ESJ, the BES Corporate Sponsor program will be offered as part of ESJ’s Corporate Partner program, which operates July 1 to June 30. Sponsorship dollars for BES events will be designated for the BES campus as always, but sponsors will be able to gain exposure to the entire Episcopal School of Jacksonville community if they wish. Because of the change to an academic year program, the following sponsorships will be available after the merger with Episcopal School of Jacksonville is complete:
Look for the comprehensive list of ESJ sponsorship opportunities to be mailed in July. Contact Stacy Nash in the Development Office with any questions or to become a sponsor for this coming year. Thank you for your continued support of BES!
