Sponsorship for Gen-Y Entrepreneurs The mission of Skye Apparel includes a third element beyond brand identity and community unification. “We want to stimulate growth in diverse sectors of our local economy, not just our own,” explains Callegari. The company actively seeks out local entrepreneurs and leaders, offering sponsorship and support to help KC locals in their efforts to stand out.
“We especially want to inspire entrepreneurship among our peers in Kansas City,” reports Callegari. “There is no shortage of talented, young individuals who work hard to thrive and survive in KC, but it's especially hard to get noticed out here. We're committed to providing whatever support we can to help other success-minded individuals take it to the next level.”
As part of its commitment, Skye Apparel sponsors local entrepreneurs and artists, including hip-hop artist LA France, spin-master DJ Vince, and a KC skate-boarding team. Skye is also in negotiations with other local bands, DJ's, as well as a comedian and other creative artists based in and around Kansas City.
