Becoming a sponsor not only benefits the
communities and youth associations that use the
arena, but it offers the sponsor a young,
affluent audience for its advertising. In 2006,
over 5 million people visited FMC managed
arenas in Massachusetts. It is nearly impossible
for your message not to be seen. Additionally,
your investment contributes to the capital
improvement fund of the arena, enhancing the
quality of the public facility and programs
offered.
