SPONSORSHIP
Smoke & Barrel Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit company whose mission is to produce quality entertainment for the enrichment of the community while raising funding for worthy charities. Put more simply: We produce great events that give back! We appreciate your consideration as your sponsorship dollars fuel growth of the event amenities & line up, drive sales to larger markets, bring more tourism dollars into Lake Charles, and bolster our ability to positively impact our community through our partnership with United Way SWLA. We cordially invite you to join us in our efforts to expand entertainment, tourism, and charitable fundraising activity in Southwest Louisiana. Our current lineup features two annual food and beverage centric events, produced in Lake Charles, which benefit the United Way of SWLA and their “Success by 6” initative. Success by 6 provides day school scholarships for children under the age of 6, which better prepares them for success throughout their education and into adulthood. It also allows parents to return to the work force without being financially hindered by childcare. The namesake event, Smoke & Barrel, welcomes in the cool breezes of late Fall, and Rum Revival kicks off the warmth of spring.
Are you interested in supporting entertainment, travel, tourism, arts, and local charitable causes, all while growing brand awareness with an engaged audience? Then, Follow the Smoke!, and review the opportunities available in the following pages
