SPONSOR THE TOUR

We invite you to be part of a time-honored tradition that celebrates the charm, culture, and craftsmanship of Greensboro's historic neighborhoods. Sponsoring Preservation Greensboro's Annual Tour of Historic Homes and Gardens, a two-day event on May 17th and 18th, 2025, is not just a promotional opportunity; it's a chance to make a lasting impact on our community's legacy.

 

Last year’s tour highlighted Sunset Hills and was a resounding success, with over 520 tour attendees—a significant increase over 2023. This year, PGI will feature, Irving Park and we aim to grow even further, engaging more people in the beauty and history of our city’s unique neighborhoods while creating opportunities for your brand to shine.

 

Here’s why your sponsorship matters:

1. Preserve Greensboro’s Heritage. Your support helps ensure that our historic homes, gardens, and neighborhoods have the resources they need to be preserved for future generations, maintaining the unique identity of our city.

2. Showcase Your Brand. The tour draws hundreds of attendees, including local residents, preservation enthusiasts, and visitors from across the region. Sponsoring connects your brand with an audience that values heritage, community, and craftsmanship.

3. Invest in Our Community. Proceeds from the tour support Preservation Greensboro’s mission to protect and preserve our culturally diverse history, heritage and historic assets through education, advocacy and action.

4. Be a Steward of Sustainability. Historic preservation promotes environmentally sustainable practices by repurposing existing structures and reducing waste. Your sponsorship aligns with values of sustainability and responsible development.

 

As a sponsor, you’ll gain valuable exposure through event promotions, social media highlights, tour information and on-site recognition. More importantly, you’ll play a pivotal role in fostering a community that celebrates Greensboro’s rich history while paving the way for a vibrant and sustainable future. By sponsoring, you align your brand with a legacy of stewardship, and connect with an engaged audience that values history, craftsmanship, and cultural vibrancy.
