《Dow Corning sponsoring Tall Ship Celebration in July 2016》：
Dow Corning Corp. has signed on to be the “Presenting Port Sponsor” for the 2016 Tall Ship Celebration in Bay City, which will take place July 14-17, 2016.
Dow Corning has been a major sponsor of the Tall Ship Celebration since 2006 and has been Port Sponsor since 2010. The silicon-technology leader recently opened a new facility in Bay City’s Uptown development along the Saginaw River.
“We are pleased to support this signature event that honors Bay City’s majestic maritime history,” said Kristy Folkwein, Dow Corning senior vice president and chief information officer, global business services. “Our new Dow Corning Business Services Center will offer a beautiful backdrop to the tall ships in the Saginaw River. And, it allows us to shine a light on the exciting revitalization of the waterfront in the Uptown development area.”
Folkwein, Dow Corning’s corporate officer located at the Uptown site, added, “We are committed to seeing this region grow and attract other businesses from around the state and beyond. Tall Ship Celebration, along with other arts and entertainment events, is a major attraction for visitors as well as our 300 employees and potential employees. As Bay City prepares to welcome sailing ships from around the world, we are proud to offer our continued support of the award-winning maritime festival.”
Shirley Roberts, Tall Ship Celebration event coordinator, said organizers are pleased to welcome Dow Corning back as Presenting Port Sponsor.
“We have developed a great partnership with Dow Corning and we share a common interest in producing a first-class event featuring family-oriented entertainment that attracts positive attention to our region,” Roberts said.
Bay City has produced Tall Ship Celebrations in 2001, 2003, 2006, 2010 and 2013. Tall Ship Celebration won the coveted “Port of the Year Award” from Tall Ships America for its 2013 maritime festival, the third time the event has received the designation. No other Great Lakes port has received the honor more than Bay City.
“Port of the Year” guarantees the community’s place in the Tall Ships Challenge series of races and rallies that will return to the Great Lakes in 2016. Other host ports anticipated to participate are Toronto, Cleveland, Chicago, Green Bay, Duluth and Erie.
