North Suburban Aquatic Club is proud to host the 2026 Central Zone Age Group Championships, taking place August 6–9 at the Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center on the University of Minnesota campus. This national-level meet brings together more than 800 of the top swimmers ages 14 and under, along with thousands of coaches, officials, families, and spectators from over ten states. Over four days of competition, the event highlights athletic excellence while generating meaningful economic and community impact throughout the Twin Cities.

WHY SPONSORSHIP MATTERS

Hosting a championship of this caliber is both an honor and a major undertaking. Our goal is to keep participation costs affordable for athletes, clubs, coaches, and families while delivering a first-class meet experience. NSAC cannot host this event without the support of our swim community. Sponsorships and donations directly offset essential expenses such as facility operations, awards, hospitality, staffing, and event logistics—helping ensure the Central Zone Championships continues to lead by example both in and out of the pool.

​

WAYS TO SUPPORT

We invite businesses, organizations, and individuals to partner with us through monetary and in-kind donations. Financial contributions support our overall fundraising goal, while in-kind donations—such as food, beverages, hotel discounts, services, or athlete and staff hospitality—help reduce some of our highest costs. In-kind support receives the same recognition value as cash sponsorships, and we welcome the opportunity to build a customized partnership that aligns with your community engagement goals.

SPONSORSHIP BENEFITS & COMMUNITY IMPACT

As a sponsor, your support reaches thousands of attendees through on-site recognition, digital promotions, live streaming visibility, and event communications. More importantly, your contribution helps support youth athletics, promotes healthy lifestyles, and strengthens our regional swim community. NSAC is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and all donations are fully tax-deductible.
