🀝 Local business partnerships

Reach local families all summer long.

Oak Park Swim Club has been a gathering place for Raleigh families since 1968. Sponsoring the pool puts your business in front of the neighborhood every sunny day of the season, while helping support a community institution.

🌊 Your sponsorship helps save the pool

Oak Park is in the middle of a $150,000 campaign to resurface our 50-year-old pool before the 2027 season. Sponsorship dollars help fund that effort, so partnering with us isn't just marketing, it's helping keep a neighborhood institution alive. See the campaign β†’

Why sponsor the pool

It's local marketing that actually works.

A banner at the pool isn't a billboard people drive past once. It's seen all season by more than 100 member households, the same local families, over and over. That repeated, trusted exposure is exactly what a local business wants.

All summer

Seen on repeat

Members visit again and again from May to September. Your name becomes part of their summer, not a one-time impression.

Local

The right customers

Our members are neighborhood homeowners and families: the exact audience for home services, restaurants, dentists, real estate and more.

Goodwill

Members support you back

People genuinely want to do business with the companies that support their pool. That goodwill is hard to buy anywhere else.

New for 2026

More ways to get value back.

Beyond the banner, we're adding two things that turn a sponsorship into measurable business for you.

🎟️ Member-perk co-promotions

Offer our members a deal (a discount, a freebie, a "show your member card" offer) and we promote it for you. Members get a perk, you get foot traffic you can actually measure, and your sponsorship pays for itself.

πŸ“£ Featured in our member emails

Sponsors get airtime in the inboxes of the families who use the pool: a sponsor spotlight plus a recurring "deals from our sponsors" roundup through the season, keeping your business top of mind with local customers.
