Man Up 2026

What is Man Up?
Man Up is an annual event for men in our valley to have a meal together and be challenged to "man up" in the way they follow Jesus, the way they show up for their families and the way they lead others. We also give thousands of dollars worth of incredible giveaways. Your sponsorship makes this possible! This year we are hosting two nights at the Eastwood Event Centre, October 15-16, 2026. Each night has a maximum capacity of 700 men! We anticipate a new estimated attendance of 1,200-1,400 men. 
Why sponsor?
We would like to invite you to consider a corporate sponsorship and being present for the event. We believe that there is great potential for mutual benefit, should you participate. Nearly all in attendance would fit well within your customer demographic. As you consider sponsoring our event, please note that this is not a fundraiser for our church, and your sponsorship will be directed into the event in its entirety. Please also know that, given we are a local ministry, there will be a faith-based component to the event.  

What do I get as a corporate sponsor?
The Corporate Sponsorship is $5,000.00 (tax deductible) and includes the following for BOTH NIGHTS:
  • Your company’s promotional booth during the event (if desired)
  • Company table and tickets for 10 to enjoy the event (if desired)
    • You will still need to register for these tickets. We will send a unique discount code for you to access your 10 free tickets.
  • Logo & platform mentions at GFC during pre-event promo (6 weeks)
  • Logo on Social Media pre-event promo (6 weeks)
  • Logo on tshirt given to every person in attendance
  • Logo prominently displayed on stage event banners
  • Logo prominently displayed on event screens
  • Logo displayed on event table toppers
  • Platform mentions during the event
  • A total combined exposure to more than 3,500+ people!
