Big Mama's Collard Greens Festival Sponsorship

Thank you for your interest in becoming a sponsor!

It is always with great pleasure that we here at The Newtown Nation and The Newtown Farmer’s Market can present to the City of Sarasota, the 6th Annual Big Mama’s Collard Green Festival!

For those unfamiliar with The Newtown Nation and the Newtown Farmers Market, we are a not-for-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of every citizen of Newtown, Sarasota, from the youth to the elderly. Our goal is to elevate the community to a place of self-sufficiency, success, and unity to see the people of Newtown stand as a testament to what can be accomplished when we all stand in solidarity!

The Newtown Farmers Market is an extension of The Newtown Nation created to educate the community on healthy eating habits and provide nutritious fruits and vegetables to the people at an affordable price with incentives.

Since the farmers’ market inception, we have teamed up with SNAP allowing us to accept EBT to purchase fresh produce. At the same time, we are promoting the Florida-grown concept, which enables us to give any person using EBT two for the price of one on any Florida-grown produce. It’s a win-win for Florida farmers, our community, and our economy!

The Big Mama’s Collard Green Festival was founded in 2016 to get the people of Newtown to come out and showcase their cooking skills, along with a little friendly competition with first, second, and third place cash prizes for the best collard green dish.

We have teamed up with the Ringling College of The Arts and New College students to help out with this event. We will have live entertainment and other small businesses and vendors from the area that also come out to sell their products and services.

It would be greatly appreciated for any assistance from local businesses, organizations, and others willing to donate their resources, funds, or time to our cause to make this a more significant event that brings more people and equity into Newtown.

To the right is a list of the different sponsorship levels and prices for those levels that businesses can utilize to help us push forth and ensure the success of this event.

Your sponsorship and/or participation will help assure our event’s success and keep our Farmer’s Market open to provide fresh produce to our residents weekly.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns. We look forward to speaking with you at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,
Danette Williams
Vice President, The Newtown Nation, Inc.
