The Bowling Green Downtown Foundation is starting a fundraising campaign for the purchase of new holiday decorations.
“While the joys of the holiday season are still fresh in our minds, we as the Downtown Foundation are embarking on a two- to three-year fundraising campaign for the purchase of new holiday decorations,” said Dick Newlove, president of the foundation. “We as committee members are mindful of the fact it has been 20 years since the decorations in historic Downtown BG were last updated.”
The new plan includes existing lamp posts in the center of downtown along Main Street and Wooster Street being decorated with wreaths lit with LED lights and red bows. There will be holiday banners on the lampposts further to the north and south. The plan also includes swags and wreaths with lights, bows, and ribbons across north and south Main Street.
“One does not have to look too far to see the downtown holiday decorations of neighboring communities are much fresher and more inviting,” Newlove said. “We are therefore appealing to you to join with us in helping in efforts of brightening up the Downtown BG area with new holiday décor.”
The Downtown Foundation is offering the following sponsorship opportunities:
- Platinum $5,000
- Gold $1,000
- Silver $500
- Red $250
- Green $ Greatest Need – any amount
All sponsors will be recognized on the Downtown Foundation website and in online promotional materials.
