Kent Skates Sponsors
Be a sponsor of Kent Skates for the 2022-2023 Season from Nov. 19 to Feb. 26.
Kent Skates enjoyed a spectacular inaugural season and most of that success was due to the support of our sponsors.
Sponsor support helped to bring lots of people from the Kent community as well as from areas outside of Kent to enjoy our rink and downtown Kent.
Kent Skates is promoted through broadcast media channels and through print, social media and the web.
Kent Skates Impact:
- More than 15,000 people visited Kent Skates and there were nearly 60 group reservations.
- Visitors expressed a desire to return to Kent Skates again next year
- Sponsors and local businesses enjoyed increased activity during the period Kent Skates was open and especially appreciated the additional business during the traditionally slow months of January and February.

“In addition to strengthening our continued partnership with the city of Kent and Kent State University, the response from our guests was overwhelmingly positive. Guests would request rooms overlooking the ice rink to watch the skaters and several have made plans to return next winter to enjoy the rink again. Seeing Erie Street activated during the winter months left a positive impression not only with our guests, but our friendship and connection to our community.”

"I cannot tell you how much our family LOVED it this winter. And I saw so many of my non-Kent friends coming into town to try it out as well..."

“We noticed a lot of families coming into Kent from out of town for the ice rink this last winter. In addition to the ice rink, they explored the stores and ate at the local restaurants. I think this was an excellent activity for bringing people into Kent, especially during a slow time of the year in January and February. I would love to see the ice rink return this upcoming season.”
