You've Been Snowballed 2020 with YOUR BUSINESS HERE

100 Local Families Will Be "Snowballed" With Snowball Baskets & Your Business Can Join the Fun!

By Jennifer Johnson, Editor & Publisher of Macaroni Kid Hempstead-Uniondale-Garden City November 9, 2020

What a year 2020 has been! It has definitely been a rollercoaster of a ride and now Macaroni Kid Hempstead-Uniondale-Garden City wants to spread some joy!

While we love to bring family fun events to the community, it's been difficult with all of the Covid restrictions and shut downs.  We are looking for new ways to connect our readers to your local businesses.  That brings us to: 

THE GREAT MACARONI KID SNOWBALL FIGHT OF 2020 SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY


It's no doubt that this year's Holiday season will most likely look different for a lot of children this year. Between less holiday events, gatherings and activities, as well as the possibility of families facing hardships such as illness and layoffs, we have decided to spread joy in a unique way. We plan on "Snowballing" 100 local families with holiday bags of goodies and have them "Pay it Forward".  Each family that is Snowballed will be encouraged to snowball 1-2 more families.  

However, We cannot do this alone! 

HOW YOU CAN SPONSOR THIS WINTERTIME FUN!

Your local Macaroni Kid is seeking sponsors for the Great Macaroni Kid Snowball fight of 2020.  All of our sponsor's logos will appear on the flyer that will accompany each basket and be delivered throughout the area. Your name and logo will also be included on all marketing materials used to promote this activity, including an article detailing this project that will be sent out in our weekly newsletters to families in the Hempstead, West Hempstead, Uniondale and Garden City areas, so that they can download the flyers and create their own Snowball baskets.


Sponsorships start at $100...that's just $1 per basket to be part of this awesome and memorable community project!
