Dear Potential Sponsor,
We all know Cleveland is back. The revitalization is upon us, and one of the benefits is a thriving
music scene that’s getting stronger by the day. That’s why we’ve decided to throw the best folk
and bluegrass festival Cleveland has ever seen. We’re calling it Hingetown Hoedown, and we
want you to be part of it.
The aim of Hingetown Hoedown is to spread awareness and love for folk, roots, bluegrass, and
newgrass music throughout Northeastern Ohio. But that’s not all! The festival will be free and
open to the public because we want to bring communities together – to get groups of people
from across neighborhoods, towns, and counties to enjoy irresistible, toe-tapping music with one
another. We want to strengthen bonds between the people of the great city of Cleveland and
beyond.
On October 3, 2015, at the intersection of Church and West 29th in the heart of Ohio City's
Hingetown neighborhood, we will be shutting down the streets and lining them with food trucks,
beer wagons, and local vendors. Music will be performed all day and will feature mostly local
bands with a few from other cities in Ohio.
Here’s the part where you come in: the primary source of funding for Hingetown Hoedown is
from local and corporate sponsors. Your sponsorship will help assure the success of Hingetown
Hoedown. This event will inspire community involvement and spur enthusiasm for great local
music. We ask for you to join us on this fun and important mission. All contributions are tax
deductable.
Enclosed please find more information on this event and its sponsorship levels. Please do not
hesitate to contact us with any questions. We look forward to speaking with you at your earliest
convenience.
Sincerely,
Cleveland Bluegrass Festival, LLC

Why should you become a Hingetown
Hoedown sponsor?
We expect to see
5,000+ festival goers to visit our stages throughout the day.
We are running all day long so we are expecting both
families and young
professionals throughout the Cleveland area to come and check us out.
This event is
free and open to the public with a "pay what you like" donation option to
encourage the entire city and surrounding areas to join in the fun!
We are currently working on achieving 501(c)3 status and will be operating under a fiscal agent in order to
make your sponsorship
tax deductable.
The Hingetown area of Ohio City is up and coming and continues to get
a lot of media
attention which means even more exposure for your company.
We currently have Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter feeds up and running and we continue to get
more followers every day. Our website at hingetownhoedown.com is also active.
We will be
heavily promoting the festival through multiple facets once we
get closer to the date.
There will be fliers posted
throughout the Cleveland area.
This year marks the first festival but each consecutive year we hope it will grow
even bigger and better.
