Sponsorship & Raffle Opportunities for The Agency’s 2nd Annual Charity Event
There's a reason pickleball has taken over the Lowcountry! It's social, it's fast-paced, and it brings people together on the court in a way few other sports can. This September, The Agency is channeling that same community spirit into something bigger: The Big Dill, our Second Annual Pickleball Charity Event, benefiting Habitat for Humanity of the Lowcountry.
Mark your calendars for Thursday, September 24, 2026, from 5–8 PM at Dill Dinkers on Hilton Head Island. But before paddles hit the court, we're inviting local businesses and community leaders to get involved in a way that lasts well beyond the final point through sponsorship and raffle donations.
Why This Event Matters
Since 1990, Habitat for Humanity of the Lowcountry has partnered with families across Beaufort and Jasper counties to build stability through homeownership. Over 190 homes have been built, with a foreclosure rate of less than 2%, a track record that speaks to just how transformative this work is for local families.
The Big Dill, hosted in partnership with Giveback Homes, turns a night of friendly competition into real, tangible impact. Every dollar raised stays right here in our community, helping fund future builds for families working toward homeownership.
Two Ways to Get Involved
We know not every business wants (or needs) the same level of involvement, so we've built in two ways to participate, and you're welcome to do both ;)
Option 1: Become a Sponsor
Sponsoring The Big Dill puts your business front and center at one of the Lowcountry's most anticipated community events, while directly funding Habitat's mission. There are four levels to choose from, each with its own mix of visibility, players, and perks:
The Big Dill Sponsor — $1,250 (6 participants) The title sponsorship. Your logo gets prominent placement on event signage, the website, and the registration page, plus featured placement on the event t-shirt. You'll also be included in paid social media promotions across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok, recognized in media coverage and PR outreach, and given verbal recognition during the tournament. Six players, swag bags included, and a spot on the official sponsorship sign round out the package.
Bread & Butter Sponsor — $750 (4 participants) A strong middle-tier option with logo placement on event signage and the website, a featured spot on the event t-shirt, and one targeted social media mention across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Includes four players, swag bags, verbal recognition at the tournament, and placement on the sponsorship sign.
Gherkin Sponsor — $500 (2 participants) Logo recognition on the flyer, website, and social media, plus placement on the event t-shirt and sponsorship signage. Includes two players and a swag bag for each.
Sweet Pickle Sponsor — $250 A great entry point for businesses that want to support the cause and gain visibility without the full sponsorship commitment. Includes logo recognition on the flyer, website, and social media, plus placement on the sponsorship sign.
Option 2: Donate a Raffle Prize
Not ready for a full sponsorship? You can still make a meaningful impact by donating to the event raffle. We're looking for gift baskets, gift certificates, or unique experiences your business can offer; no donation is too small! Every raffle item helps raise critical funds for Habitat for Humanity, and donors are recognized in event marketing, raffle materials, and shoutouts throughout the evening.
