Sponsorship of the 2011 Naval Air Facility El Centro Air Show clearly demonstrates your commitment to the community and your outstanding support of the men and women of your armed forces. A Sponsor provides cash and/or in-kind support to assist in covering the expenses of the air show.

As the winter home of the Blue Angels, the Navy Air Facility El Centro annual air show is the first show of their season, every year. Drawing a crowd of approximately 35,000, it is the largest single-day event in the Imperial Valley. Unlike other performances, this air show allows our sponsors unprecedented front row access to the show, with nothing between them and the performers.

Sponsorship opportunities range from $25,000 to a commercial booth sponsorship and can be tailor-made to fit your organization’s objectives. Reasons that organizations sponsor our event include:

• Marketing
• Recruiting
• Entertaining clients
• Company parties
• Show support for the military

Your support is important to the continued existence of our air show. Thank you, we look forward to hearing from you.
