For businesses
Since we started the program in 2016, Covington area businesses have loved participating in Ready Set Play. They love meeting the kids, families and friends that visit during the summer. It is too late to sign up in time for the June 25 kick-off, but if your business wants to participate this year, contact the Covington Chamber of Commerce at info@covingtonchamber.org or 253-329-0999. We might be able to squeeze you in.
The cost is $400 for new participating businesses (includes first-time set-up, design of Brag Tag®, order and delivery of supplies, etc.) and $300 for returning businesses. We prefer that participating businesses be located in Covington, but if they are near our borders in Kent or Maple Valley, we may be able to make an exception. Contact the Chamber for details, including which Brag Tags® and activities are still available.
Businesses should expect 200 or more kids to visit through the course of the summer. This year there may be even more. The last two years were slow because of COVID, but with things evolving and with our ULTIMATE prize packs, we hope to have more kids participating. The target age range is elementary school, but there are always a few older and a few younger kids – especially siblings – that participate. This program is meant to be fun and inclusive, so please allow all kids to participate when they visit your location.
The cost is $400 for new participating businesses (includes first-time set-up, design of Brag Tag®, order and delivery of supplies, etc.) and $300 for returning businesses. We prefer that participating businesses be located in Covington, but if they are near our borders in Kent or Maple Valley, we may be able to make an exception. Contact the Chamber for details, including which Brag Tags® and activities are still available.
Businesses should expect 200 or more kids to visit through the course of the summer. This year there may be even more.
