The Hawkesbury City Council is inviting local event organizers to submit applications for sponsorship through its annual Event Sponsorship Program. This initiative aims to support events that foster community engagement, celebrate the region’s rich heritage, and stimulate local economic growth.
Among past recipients of this sponsorship are well-known events such as the Burralow Bush Run, the Hawkesbury NAIDOC Ball, the Hawkesbury Show, the Convict 100 Mountain Bike Marathon, and the St Albans Village Market.
Applications for the sponsorship program will open on February 1, 2025, and will remain open until February 28, 2025. The Council is dedicated to enhancing the vibrancy and success of the community. It seeks to sponsor events that are not only safe and engaging but also well-managed, providing benefits to participants as well as the broader Hawkesbury region.
The Council is particularly interested in events that celebrate the area’s cultural traditions, highlight the importance of its natural environment, and invigorate local town centers. Additionally, it seeks to create opportunities for cultural exchange that enrich community life, promote tourism to attract visitors, and foster connections among local businesses and residents.
Event organizers focusing on areas such as arts, culture, sports, education, and heritage are encouraged to apply, provided their events align with the community’s overall wellbeing. To initiate the application process, organizers should visit the Hawkesbury City Council website and submit their event details via the online application portal. It is essential to detail the event’s goals, anticipated outcomes, sustainability practices, and community benefits.
For further details or assistance with applications, interested parties can reach out to the Hawkesbury City Council Events Team. The opportunity for funding through this sponsorship program represents a significant chance for local events to flourish and contribute to the vibrancy of the Hawkesbury community.
