Community Involvement & Sponsorship

Community Involvement & Event Sponsorship

River Rock Casino is dedicated to developing strong community ties and active involvement with local community and regional organizations and events. Involvement in an event should develop good will and sound relationships, strengthen the casino's relationship with the community, help enhance the business operations of River Rock Casino and partner organizations, and shall not conflict with the casino's responsible gaming policy.

Process

Sponsorship requests from organizations within our market and community shall be reviewed monthly by the casino’s sponsorship committee. To ensure we have enough time to properly evaluate, respond, and develop marketing plans in support of your event, please submit your sponsorship request no less than 60 days prior to the event’s commencement.

Decision Process

The decision process for sponsorships may take up to 30 days. Our decisions are determined by our annual budget and other sponsorship commitments. Organizations making requests shall be notified by mail of the final decision.

Guidelines for Sponsorship

Sponsorships shall be reviewed individually. Please review these guidelines carefully to ensure your request meets our requirements prior to submission. Proposals that do not contain all of the required information shall not be reviewed. If you believe any of the information required is not relevant to your organization, please briefly explain why.

All requests must be written in a concise manner and contain the following information:
