Bryce Canyon City Council OKs $5,000 sponsorship for Christmas concert
Summary
Council voted to provide $5,000 as a sponsorship for a Christmas concert hosted by a nonprofit; the council discussed whether to sponsor or directly pay performers and agreed sponsorship with on-screen recognition was preferred.
The Bryce Canyon City Council approved a $5,000 sponsorship for an upcoming Christmas concert hosted by a nonprofit organization.
A presenter seeking support said the nonprofit (referred to as the National Tribute) would receive $5,000 and that additional funds, if provided, would pay performers or cover gallery costs. The presenter asked the council to consider a sponsorship model — placing sponsors’ names on the big screen and in advertising — rather than the city directly paying bands. “We’d like to just pay more advertising budget… rather than just paying for the vans,” the presenter said when explaining sponsorship options and outreach strategies.
Council member Ken moved to donate $5,000 for the Christmas concert; Cherry seconded. The council approved the motion by voice vote.
Council and presenters discussed using town advertising assets (big screen and social media) in exchange for sponsorship recognition. The presenter said prior radio and social-media advertising costs had already been incurred and that sponsorship would help offset those costs.
Next steps: staff will accept documentation and invoicing from the presenter and process the donation/sponsorship payment.
