The Invitation

The Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation and the Saskatoon Zoo Foundation invite you to sponsor a Christmas light display at the SIGA Enchanted Forest. Your sponsorship not only "brightens" Christmas of thousands of families from Saskatoon and throughout Saskatchewan; it also supports the work of both Foundations as they raise much-needed funds for worthy projects. The Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation uses their portion of the net-revenues to purchase necessary equipment at the Saskatoon City Hospital. The Saskatoon Zoo Foundation is raising money to build five new exhibits at the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park and Zoo. Your sponsorship truly is an investment in your community, making Saskatoon a better place to live. Join in our Tenth Anniversary Celebration and sponsor your very own Christmas light display.

The Sponsorship Opportunity

A limited number of Christmas light displays may now be available for sponsorship at the SIGA Enchanted Forest on a first-come first serve basis to community-spirited businesses. Your business will be the exclusive sponsor of a custom display at one of Canada’s best drive-thru Christmas Light Shows and Saskatchewan’s top wintertime tourist attraction! Annual attendance averages 60,000.

Sponsorship Availability

Christmas light displays are open for sponsorship to businesses, service organizations, foundations, communities, institutions, teams, families, individuals, or any other community-minded organizations. Many of our sponsors are multi-year and the number of available sponsorships is limited from year to year.

Sponsorship Investment and Term Options

Light display sponsorships are available at the following levels:
$1500 – Entry Level non-animated display
$3,000 – Larger display, usually multi-image, may be animated
$5,000 – Premier animated display
$10,000 – Feature large scale animated display, usually multi-image
We will work with your budget and find the display that is just right for you. Sponsors can choose from a one or three year term at the same investment. Longer term sponsorships are also available and frequently selected to lock in the cost.
