Be a Grand Valley Cardinal Sponsor. Sponsorship & Advertising Opportunities. Supporting our Youth. 2023-2024

GVHS would like to, once again, organize our annual Cardinal Sponsorships. The intent of this fund will be used to: 

  • Continue the Mt. Callahan Scholarship opportunity;
  • Provide financial support to students who participate in activities (i.e. to go to summer camp, pay fees, or other specific trainings). 
  • Provide support where the school budget doesn't reach specifically related to athletics, activities, clubs, recognition of student success, and student spirit;
  • Support the after prom program. 

There are several levels of sponsorships ranging from $25 - $2,500. Marketing material for every level of sponsorship is provided. GVHS representatives will be handing out brochures today. For more information, please call GVHS at 970-285-5705.
