Become a Sponsor today!
The Red Deer Cultural Heritage Society, previously known as the Red Deer International Folk Festival Society, has sponsored and provided entertainment for many local, national and international events since it was formed in 1969. Through its participation in such events, the operation of the Cronquist House, Festival Hall and the production of the annual Canada Day celebrations, the Society has made significant contributions towards the preservation of Central Alberta's rich cultural heritage.
The Red Deer Cultural Heritage Society is a non-profit organization that is always looking for sponsors to help with funding for the annual Canada Day celebration (i.e. performers, fireworks, etc.), assistance with building maintenance and upkeep for the Cronquist House & Festival Hall locations (i.e. furniture, flooring, painting, etc.), and more!
We are currently seeking sponsorship for an upcoming exhibit celebrating Canadian Heritage, and the cultural heritage of many Canadians.
Becoming a sponsor for the RDCHS has its benefits, too! When you become a corporate sponsor, your company’s name is displayed in the area you help sponsor. For example, if your sponsorship is aimed toward assisting in the Canada Day celebrations, there are numerous areas that your company name will be displayed proudly! From posters to banners, advertisements and announcements, your company will be promoted consistently for your generous sponsorship throughout the Canada Day events.
