Campus Recreation can help you gain exposure to Marshall Students all year! A sponsorship package can be customized to suit your promotional needs and budget.
RecFest Sponsorships & Exhibitor Booths
It’s that time of year again! RecFest 2025 presented by Smoothie King is set for Saturday, August 16th from 12–3pm, and we’d love for you to be a part of it.
Hosted by the Marshall Recreation Center, RecFest is an annual tradition that brings together Marshall students and the Huntington community for an exciting afternoon of connection and discovery. It’s a great opportunity to showcase your business or organization, make meaningful connections, and increase your visibility as students return to campus.
Interested in even more exposure? Check out our sponsorship options in the 2025 RecFest Prospectus, found on our website. Sponsors receive exclusive benefits and expanded promotion throughout Marshall’s Week of Welcome.
