Become a 2022 Sponsor / Partner
Each year the Westside Farmers Market runs a series of raffles in order to encourage attendance. It has worked very well. We fund these raffles out of our very small budget, with the help of some of our vendors who are willing to donate product to the raffle.
It occurred to us that we could all benefit from these raffles if we included gifts from some of our local businesses. A great option would be donating a gift certificate or something you sell at your business. The raffles, and merchants who donate, are promoted throughout the market season and through our weekly e-newsletter. We will also display a professionally printed poster through the market season that will include the names of the donor merchants.
Our shoppers have come to expect a raffle, and look forward to it. It has proved to bring more people into our neighborhood businesses.
There is also the option of sponsorship, which will display your logo and/or business name on our banner. The banner hangs on the fence on Genesee St. from June to October. View the Sponsor Levels document here.
Contact us by May 20 if you would like to be included as a Sponsor, by June 1 to be included in the raffles. This will ensure that your business is included in our printing of signage at the market.
In case you don’t know about our market, here is a little history:
So, what is the Westside Farmers Market?
The Westside Farmers Market is a wonderful community gathering place located in the parking lot of St. Monica Church at 831 Genesee St., with more than 300 people gathering on a Tuesday night, sharing dinner, music, and a great fresh food shopping experience.
Why does the Market exist?
The Westside Farmers Market has a mission to bring fresh local produce into the neighborhood while fostering a community spirit. We have a wonderful variety of fruits, vegetables, greens, baked goods, and more; we also offer youth orientated activities, music and entertainment, blood pressure screening, dining, healthy exercise programs, bike repair, and so much more.
We are in our 15th year and hope you will be part of the celebration!
