Sponsors and partners
Every walk is free to attend because local businesses cover what a free event still costs: coffee, donuts, permits, insurance, workshop supplies. Here is who does that, and how to join them.

What sponsorship funds
The club has no staff and no office. Nearly every dollar goes to the event in front of us:
- City of Sioux Falls special event permits and shelter reservations for walks in public parks.
- General liability insurance the City requires for events on public property.
- Coffee and donuts on the months a food sponsor can’t make it.
- Workshop supplies and instructor thank-yous for dad-only events.
- Signage, printing, and the small stuff that makes a park meetup findable.
In-kind help counts too. Donuts, coffee, a venue, a bounce house: we track every contribution at fair market value because it is real support and it shows up in our grant applications.
Sponsorship tiers
We are finalizing a simple tier structure for 2027 with recognition at events, in the newsletter that reaches a few hundred local dads, and on this site. Until it is published, sponsorship is arranged directly, and every sponsor gets named here and thanked on the event page they support.
