Sponsoring the 25 Under 25^® Awards associates your organization with and provides you access to some of the fastest-growing businesses in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Many of our past winners have grown beyond the 25 employee maximum required for eligibility, some have sold their businesses and started new ones (including one winner that sold to Mars, Inc.), and still others have grown by acquiring other companies. Sponsors benefit by up to nine months of visibility during each year's programs, beginning with the nomination process in August and running through April of the following year.

For information about sponsoring, please contact Kelly Scanlon at (913) 432-6690.
