Community Connector

The Community Connector sponsorship tier is designed for businesses, organizations, and individuals who want to make a high-impact, visible, and meaningful contribution to the Garden State Gay Socials (GSGS) community. Priced at $5,000 per month, Community Connector sponsors are positioned as key supporters and bridge-builders, playing a critical role in fostering connections, engagement, and friendships among gay men across New Jersey.

This tier is for sponsors who want to go beyond simple visibility, creating a tangible, memorable presence at every event. Sponsors at this level are recognized as leaders and pillars of the community, supporting the growth and sustainability of GSGS events while gaining premium recognition and brand exposure across multiple channels. Community Connector sponsorship emphasizes connection, participation, and high-impact engagement, ensuring your brand is seen as both approachable and influential.

Social Media Recognition

Community Connector sponsors receive a dedicated social media post highlighting their brand at each event. These posts are strategically crafted to maximize visibility and engagement, including:

  • High-quality visuals featuring your logo, branded items, or sponsorship messaging

  • Cross-platform promotion across Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and other channels

  • Opportunities for direct engagement with attendees, followers, and community members

Through consistent social media recognition, Community Connector sponsors demonstrate their commitment to inclusivity, social connection, and community support, while also raising brand awareness among a highly targeted, engaged audience. This tier ensures that your sponsorship is not only seen but celebrated across digital platforms, amplifying your presence and impact.

Event Visibility & Premium Placement

Community Connector sponsors gain high visibility at every event, with their logo featured in press releases and event recaps. This ensures that your brand is prominently associated with successful, high-quality events, both during and after each gathering. Press coverage and recaps highlight your support, giving your brand earned media exposure in addition to on-site visibility.

In addition to media recognition, sponsors have the opportunity to provide branded giveaways, further enhancing their tangible presence at events. This allows attendees to interact directly with your brand, creating lasting impressions and fostering goodwill. The combination of digital, media, and physical visibility ensures Community Connector sponsors are consistently recognized as community champions.

Goodie Bag Exclusivity

One of the most compelling benefits of Community Connector sponsorship is exclusive goodie bag placement. Sponsors can provide 4–5 branded items per event, and their logo receives prime placement. This ensures that your brand is the first thing attendees see when receiving their goodie bags, creating a high-impact, memorable impression.

Goodie bag exclusivity allows sponsors to:

  • Engage participants with branded items that are both useful and memorable

  • Reinforce brand recognition and loyalty through tangible items

  • Build a positive association with fun, inclusive, and high-quality events

By providing a physical presence that attendees take home, Community Connector sponsors extend their influence beyond the event, creating a lasting connection with participants.
