This spring, the Annual Garden Market flourished with over 5,000 neighbors and visitors from the tristate area enjoying our two-day Garden Market—our largest crowd ever! We are now in the planning stages of the 2025 Garden Market on Friday, May 2 (9-6PM) and Saturday, May 3(9AM-4PM), 2025.
With your help as a sponsor, we can do the necessary groundwork to make the Garden Market blossom!
Our vibrant and beautiful two-day Garden Market is a beloved community event established in 1997. As the Market bloomed over the years, visitors made the event their yearly spring tradition. We would find it difficult to manage such a large public event without the combined effort of our parishioners, sponsors, vendors, and local neighbors. Together, we make this pleasant spring event happen. Our collaboration and monies raised at the Garden Market enable us to help local neighbors thrive:
- Our Outreach Office Food Pantry is open year-round 3 days a week to distribute food to people in need.
- Our Mission Committee funds worthy charities in our county, state and nation.
- We support efforts to reduce addiction in our community and use our Parish Center as a weekly meeting place for four recovery groups.
Central to the Garden Market is our historic building and property, established in 1706, which requires continuing care and financial resources to maintain its historic integrity and functionality. The Garden Market, our church’s largest fundraiser, helps us manage this 318-year-old legacy.
Many people recognize the Garden Market’s value to the community and want it to blossom and thrive. Some are unable to provide hands-on assistance to the production of this large event, so they choose to assist us by being a contributing sponsor. In this way, they help underwrite Garden Market expenses as a gift to our community.
We appreciate financial donations, of any amount, from individuals, families and businesses. We have outlined some sponsorship opportunities, on the next page, that may be of interest to you. For sponsors who appreciate the occasion to advertise and increase goodwill, we have levels of sponsorship that include advertising and signage. These levels may also appeal to sponsors who wish to demonstrate, in a public way, civic engagement and support of St. Mary Anne’s outreach ministries. A few sponsors occasionally choose to remain anonymous about their generous support. Others provide goods or services that help us manage the event. Whether your sponsorship is public or private, we are grateful for your assistance and partnership in this large endeavor.
Please be a sponsor this year, so our Garden Market can thrive for the benefit of many. Thank you in advance for your consideration and support!
