New for ’23 – ’24 dance season at Big Scioty:

Sponsorships

For the first time Big Scioty is making it possible in ’23 – ’24 for individuals to become sponsors. Sponsorships have additional benefits over memberships. But memberships have not changed for ’23 – ’24. You can still become a member and enjoy the same benefits as in previous years.

However, please consider becoming a Big Scioty sponsor and enjoying the additional benefits that come with it. There are three levels of sponsorship – Sponsor, Dance Co-sponsor and Dance Sponsor. Dance Co-sponsor and Dance Sponsor levels of support will be applied to a specific dance that you choose. Please consider celebrating a special day, such as a birthday, anniversary, celebration of life, or family reunion by co-sponsoring or sponsoring a regular monthly Big Scioty dance.

Our regular monthly dances for ’23 – ’24 will be on the following dates: September 9th, October 7th, November 4th, January 6th, February 10th, March 9th, April 13th, and May 11th. September 9th will be sponsored by Ellie Nowels.

The following table highlights the differences between memberships and the three levels of sponsorship:
