Partner with the show
The Great Plains VW Show is built by VW people, for VW people. Sponsors aren't bystanders — they're part of the day. Get in front of 1,200+ enthusiasts, support the community, and put your name on something people remember.
Why sponsor
A sponsorship at the Great Plains VW Show isn't a logo on a forgotten landing page. It's your brand in front of the exact people who buy your product, on a day they'll remember.
1,200+ projected attendees, all VW/Audi enthusiasts. No wasted impressions, no irrelevant eyeballs. The people walking through the gate are the people you want.
500+ verified attendees in 2025, projecting 2-3x growth in 2026 with the expanded venue. Get in early — sponsors who started with us are scaling up their presence year over year.
New for 2026. Donate a product or gift card and your brand becomes permanently associated with the moment a winner pulls their ticket. That's the kind of customer loyalty an Instagram ad can't buy.
A big chunk of our crowd are younger enthusiasts on a budget — first-VW owners, daily-driver builders, people who can't afford premium parts at full retail. Your support gets them gear they'd otherwise never own.
Logo on event flyers, a clickable link on this site, and social media features in the lead-up to the show. Top-tier sponsors get verbal recognition at the event and their name on the back of the event shirts.
Higher tiers include vendor booth space — a chance to demo product, run install promos, sign people up for newsletters, or just hang out and meet customers face to face.
Sponsorship tiers
Five tiers, scaled to fit anything from a small local shop to a national brand. Every tier gets sponsor recognition at the show and our gratitude — the bigger you go, the more visible you are. Custom arrangements (in-kind donations, raffle-only sponsorships, multi-year deals) are also welcome. Email us for the full sponsorship packet with pricing.
We'll send you the full packet with pricing, dates, and what each tier includes within a couple of business days.
In-kind sponsorships: If cash sponsorship isn't a fit, we'd love to talk about product donations for the raffle, swag bag fillers, or service-based partnerships. Reach out and we'll figure out something that works for both sides.
New for 2026
If a tiered sponsorship doesn't fit but you'd like to send something for the raffle, we will absolutely take it. Gift cards, product, swag, stickers — anything goes.
A wheel set, coilover kit, ECU tune, exhaust system — anything visible and aspirational. The kind of prize people drive across three states for. Your brand becomes the story of the day for whoever wins it.
Single product items — a shift knob, an intake, a set of LED bulbs, a $100–$300 gift card. Big enough to get excited about, easy enough for most companies to send.
Stickers, t-shirts, hats, lanyards, keychains, pens — anything you have around the warehouse. Goes into attendee swag bags so your brand is in their hands all day.
In return: sponsor recognition on day-of signage, your name announced during the raffle drawing, and listing on this website as a 2026 raffle contributor.
Email us and we'll send over the shipping address along with timing details. We'd rather not post the address publicly.

How it works
Email us with your interest level — a tier, an in-kind contribution, or a custom idea. No commitment, no pressure.
Quick call or email exchange to finalize what you're sending, what we'll do for recognition, and timing.
Your logo goes up on the flyers, your promo items go in the swag bags (Silver+), and your booth gets set up (Gold+). Platinum sponsors also get verbal recognition at the event and their name on the back of the event shirts.
We'll email you a thank-you with attendance numbers and an honest accounting of how the day went, so we can plan next year together.
Let's talk
Email Justin (with the rest of the team CC'd) and let us know which tier you're interested in or what kind of partnership you have in mind. We'll send pricing and details and get back to you within a couple of business days.
