Maine’s First Disc Golf Festival

Partners, not just sponsors.

If we are reaching out to your organization, it is because there is a clear connection between what you do and what this festival is designed to bring to life: family fun, outdoor recreation, schools, local business, disc golf, community involvement, and a new kind of festival experience in Maine.

🎯

Obvious fit

See why it fits

We are curating partners that naturally connect to the festival experience, not collecting random logos just to fill space.

🤝

Measurable reach

See the reach

Partner exposure can extend through schools, employers, radio, social media, the festival website, ticketing platforms, outreach materials, and trackable promo codes.

The Outreach Program

Hands-on outreach with real distribution.

We are not simply sending emails or dropping off flyers. We are personally approaching schools, employers, disc golf audiences, and partner contacts that fit, then integrating them into ticket packs, sponsor codes, flyers, giveaways, and direct community distribution.

325K-400K+ projected direct audience touchpoints
250K-350K estimated unique Maine households, students, employees and community members
Sept. 1 projected radio ticket giveaway launch with live remote, station social post and event listing

What makes the reach different?

Tap to see how we are building the numbers.

These estimates are built from public school and college enrollment, major-employer audience research, homeschool and community networks, disc golf channels, local media calendars, course-by-course promotion, radio distribution, and partner sharing.

Schools + families K-12, colleges, homeschool networks, take-home materials and a school disc drawing challenge.
Major employers Ticket packs, employee perks, sponsor codes and community-facing announcements.
Disc golf network Courses, clubs, UDisc, Disc Golf Scene, player groups and local leagues.

Partner Details

A few things sponsors usually ask.

We want every partnership to feel intentional. These answers help set expectations before we build the right package together.

Can support be in-kind instead of cash?

Yes. Products, prizes, giveaways, printing, signage, services, media, ticket support and event materials can all count when they fit the event and have clear value.

Can every partner attend on-site?

Every official partner has an opportunity to be present. The exact format depends on level, space, fit, and the type of contribution.

How are projected reach numbers calculated?

They are planning estimates built from school and college enrollment, major employer audiences, homeschool and community networks, disc golf channels, radio distribution, media calendars and partner sharing. They are not guaranteed impressions or ticket sales.

Can partners receive promo codes?

Select partners can receive unique codes so we can better understand which schools, employers, sponsors, courses and community partners are driving engagement and ticket interest.
