Sponsorship

While helping to Save Our Lake & Coast is the greatest reason to sponsor an LPBF event, there are many other benefits—including having your name placed on promotional materials and signage, recognition in our newsletters and Annual Report, tickets to special events, and more. 
Sponsors of the Save Our Lake & Coast Fishing Rodeo receive several benefits, including tickets to both the Rodeo and the Annual Back to the Beach Festival, which is held the weekend after Memorial Day.  For sponsorship details, please contact Joey at (504) 836-7281 or joey@saveourlake.org.
