Sponsorship comes with strong visibility benefits: sponsor logos will be featured on the interior wall of the fitness court, prominently seen by users. Horizon BCBS and National Fitness Campaign logos will appear on the exterior-facing wall toward the street.
The court will be used by MRHS students during school hours and will be open to the public after school, on weekends, holidays, and throughout the summer, serving as a year-round fitness resource for the community.
“This is an exciting opportunity to promote health and wellness for both our students and the entire community,” said superintendent Nelyda Perez. “We are grateful for the support from the National Fitness Campaign and Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield and are now turning to our local businesses and community partners to help us close the gap and complete this incredible project.”
Due to project timelines, sponsor commitments are needed by June 10 to move forward with the next phase of construction. Please contact Business Administrator/Board Secretary Lindsey Case at 732-705-4016 or lcase@marsd.org if you need any additional information or are interested in sponsoring the project.
