Sponsors, Sponsorships, and Vendors
The City of La Vergne is looking for sponsors for the 2010 event to help relieve the cost of National Night Out.
Sponsorship costs run $100 and up. Mentions in all press releases will be a perk of being a sponsor for the night. Sponsors will also have the opportunity to have an informational table at the event. Sales are not allowed during the free night of fun.
The City is also looking for vendors for the night — alarm companies, locksmiths, and other safety-related companies are needed for the event.
Anyone who wants to sponsor or participate as a vendor in the event is asked to call Tammy Sullivan at 287-8610, email tsullivan@lavergne.org.
2009 sponsors included Regions Bank, Ingram Content Group, Ultimate Martial Arts, La Vergne Rotary Club, Slush Puppy, Tom Clark Jr., State Farm Agent, Chick Fil A, Mitch Billias (DJ), Tony Atwell (Jump Jump Bounce), Target, Charles Grider/TPA Security, Flower Bakery, and the Father's House Church.
