Why We Need Sponsors

At The Place to Play, our mission is to create unforgettable community experiences where children and teens can shine — on stage and beyond.

Each December, we bring families together for the Newport Beach Youth Show & Boat Parade Watch — a magical evening where young performers share their music, dance, and talents, followed by the spectacular Boat Parade viewed from the Marina Park balcony.

To make this celebration accessible to all, we let children and teens perform and attend for free, and each performer receives one complimentary seat for a family member.

Your sponsorship helps us keep it that way. With your support, we can:

Cover venue, sound, and lighting costs

Provide recognition, certificates, and prizes for young participants

Offer sweets, festive treats, and decorations

Ensure free participation for youth from families with limited means

By becoming a sponsor, you’re helping us celebrate effort, creativity, and community, while keeping this special event open to every family who wishes to be part of it.

Together, we can make the harbor sparkle with music, lights, and pride in every heart. ✨⚓🎶
