As a way to draw increased awareness and attention to some of the standup sponsorship opportunities on our site, we set apart one blog per month to put the “Spotlight on Sponsorship”! If you have a premium level listing on SponsorPark, and would like to have your event featured, please contact Stephanie.Lochmiller@SponsorPark.com to submit your event. This month our spotlight shines on the PBS Series ENVIROPALS!
What is ENVIROPALS! all about?
ENVIROPALS! is the first ever green/science themed television series distributed on the Public Broadcasting System. The series is the first of its kind that uses a character that not only lives in a mythical land, but also travels to different places each episode and interacts with regular people in the real world about a different "green" or science based topic. The series is unique in that it is produced and created by public school teachers, rather than the usual executives that gain their insight from abstract focus groups. These teachers bring both a current and relevant approach to the show, as they have a connection with the target audience on a daily basis. The series was designed to address issues such as ecology, biology, physics, conservation and more. The primary thrust of the series is proactive empowerment and personal stewardship for the world around us.
What makes this opportunity unique?
ENVIROPALS is currently in over 83,000 Florida classrooms and broadcast to over 90,000,000 viewers on more than 90 PBS affiliates in 22 states and more than 50 markets. They have an active Facebook page that gains more than 100 new fans each week. According to Ray Grimard, Executive Producer and Co-creator of ENVIROPALS!, the show is backed by a determined team of volunteers and paid staff that are the “best fans you could ask for”. The team truly believes in their niche, and are determined to see the success of the show continue to grow.
Surviving Sponsorship in a heated economy
With sponsors asking more than ever from their partners, ENVIRPOALS! has embraced their strong foundation of volunteers and staff, as well as turned to SponsorPark to increase their reach. Within their first few months on the site, they made a connection with Kidscommand, a web-based organization, who they have now established a cross-connection with on their web-sites. With competition fiercer than ever, properties are looking for new ways to extend their reach to potential sponsors, and ENVIROPALS! has done a fantasitc job if setting themselves apart from the competition.
Preferred Partners
ENVIROPALS! would be a great asset to any brand looking to connect themselves to a green themed childrens program. The property offers an extensive outreach component, as well as the permanent spot placement on each series in perpetuity. All sponsorships are also tax deductible as ENVIROPALS is produced by Shooting Star Educational Television which is a 501-c-3 organization. Now is the perfect time for any forward thinking brand to become part of the ENVIROPALS! team. Take look at their full proposal on www.SponsorPark.com.
