SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Partner with Purpose at The War Memorial

At The War Memorial, we believe in the power of connection, culture, and community. Each year, we present a robust calendar of events and programs that honor service, celebrate the arts, and bring people of all ages together across southeast Michigan. From large-scale community gatherings and patriotic tributes to educational programs and cultural experiences, our events are designed to educate, inspire, and enrich lives.

By becoming a sponsor, your organization plays a vital role in sustaining these meaningful experiences—while gaining visibility and goodwill with an engaged, diverse audience.

Why Sponsor The War Memorial?

Each year, The War Memorial brings the community together through meaningful events that honor, educate, and inspire — from patriotic ceremonies and enrichment programs to family festivals, culinary events, and live performances.

Our 2025 Sponsorship Catalogue features four key areas of engagement:
Patriotic Programs, Community Events, Enrichment Programs for all ages, and Arts & Cultural Experiences. Sponsors can support a single event or create a custom bundle tailored to your brand’s goals.

We're excited to include two returning community favorites in this year’s sponsorship offerings — Halloween Spooktacular and Holiday Traditions at The War Memorial — highlighted below.

Sponsorship benefits may include:

  • On-site visibility (signage, announcements, booths)

  • Promotion across social media, email, and web

  • VIP access and hospitality perks

Whether you're seeking visibility, mission alignment, or a deeper connection to the region, your sponsorship helps make these programs possible.
