Their participation will help to increase awareness and support for the event, and demonstrate their commitment to serving the community. Booth at the after event: The Rotarians will also have a booth at the after-event, which will allow them to connect with the community and promote their organization's mission. This is an opportunity for the Rotarians to engage with the public and showcase their commitment to service and community involvement. In addition to these two examples, as a sponsorship level supporter, the Rotarians will also receive recognition in program materials and along the parade route, and at the closing ceremonies. This will help to increase visibility and awareness of their organization, and demonstrate their commitment to supporting the local community. 6.
