100 businesses. $100 each. One hometown.
Help Marshall raise $10,000 for the next generation.
That is our goal, not an amount already raised. If 100 businesses each give $100, together we can put $10,000 behind this hometown event. Give what fits your business. Every contribution matters.

Your support deserves more than a passing thank-you.
Every confirmed sponsor, at every level, receives:
Your own business page
A dedicated thank-you profile with your story, approved logo or photos, what you do, and a link that takes visitors directly to your business.
A place in our sponsor directory
Families can find your business on our community thank-you page and open your individual profile.
Recognition you can share
A sponsor spotlight on our Facebook Page, plus a link and printable QR code for your counter, window, or social channels.
A reason for customers to visit
Add an optional customer offer, invitation, or special to your profile. You approve the details and limits. We link directly to your public website or business Page.
Send your approved business details through the sponsor form. Personal inquiry information stays private. Program and banner benefits depend on your package, the September 14 deadline, and Kaitlyn’s confirmation.
Extra recognition for the largest contributor
The sponsor who contributes the most will receive a special featured thank-you page and $100 total in paid advertising directing local potential customers to their business.
Kaitlyn will confirm the final recipient and campaign timing. Business creative, destination, and local audience will be confirmed before the ads run. The $100 is an advertising budget; visits and sales are not guaranteed.
Let the next generation see who showed up for them.
Marshall knows how to show up for its own. This October, help give local families another reason to be proud of their hometown. Your business can help make the Miss FireAnt Festival Pageant possible and be publicly thanked for standing behind the next generation.
Whether you run a downtown shop, a restaurant, a salon, or a service business, there is a place for you. Marshall, Hallsville, Jefferson, Waskom, Longview, and neighboring East Texas communities are welcome.
The next step is simple. Choose a sponsorship below, then save your request in Kaitlyn’s private pageant inbox. She will confirm the contribution, payment instructions, and public recognition. The published sponsor deadline is September 14.

The businesses helping make it happen
Thank you for contributing a $100 scholarship for the oldest division.
Visit the community thank-you directory. There is room for more local names here. After Kaitlyn confirms a contribution and approves the public listing, we can add the sponsor’s business name, supplied logo, and public website. Personal contact details from inquiries stay out of the sponsor display.
More than a name in a program
A young person may remember the moment they step onto the stage. Their family can also remember the businesses that made room for that moment to happen. Sponsorship is a practical way to say: this community, and its future, matter to us.
Help a family make a memory. Help a local tradition find its next chapter. Let people see that your business showed up.

How will my business be recognized?
Every confirmed sponsor receives an individual business thank-you page, a sponsor-directory listing, a link to their business, and social-media acknowledgment. Program advertising follows the September 14 deadline and package availability. Gold and Crown add announcements; Crown adds banner placement.
How do I pay?
Venmo and PayPal are preferred. Checks, cash, and other arrangements are welcome. Contact Kaitlyn for the correct payment details. Our form saves your request privately but does not process a payment. All confirmed contributions are counted together, regardless of payment method.

Can I sponsor after September 14?
