As you may know, the String Band Association has become a perennial favorite among many who support the annual Philadelphia Mummers Day Parade. In addition to competition on New Year’s Day, we provide an atmosphere that promotes integrity, camaraderie, and strong family values. Our members have practiced our division slogan of Community, Inclusion, & Pride for the past 50 years.
Collecting money through sponsorships is a crucial element in funding the diverse array of events the String Band Association hosts throughout the year. By partnering with esteemed sponsors, we are able to create mutually beneficial relationships that drive brand exposure, foster networking opportunities, and enhance attendee experiences. Sponsorships not only help to offset the costs associated with organizing these events but also enable us to elevate their quality, ensuring that each occasion leaves a lasting impression on our audience.ย
