The Grizzly Cub Network is seeking community partners who believe in investing in students and supporting the next generation of storytellers, journalists, and content creators. Grizzly Cub Network is the award winning student-run broadcasting and media program at Franklin Community High School. GCN provides students with real-world experience in broadcasting live events, producing news segments, capturing photos and videos, and learning professional media skills. Our team of over 100 students cover Franklin Community High School sports, school events, and important community stories—serving as the voice of our school while developing valuable career skills. To continue growing and providing high-quality, meaningful opportunities for our students, we rely on the support of local businesses and community members like you. 
We are excited to share our 2025-2026 Partnership Opportunities which offers several tiers of partnership opportunities. Benefits for partners include advertising placement on our live broadcasts and website, social media promotion, community recognition, and the chance to demonstrate your commitment to local education. We want a true partnership that will benefit both sides.
Your partnership helps us:
- Purchase and maintain professional-quality equipment
- Cover travel and competition entry fees for statewide competitions
- Provides training opportunities
- Offset production and streaming costs
- Provides real-world professional opportunities (like being able to host this website)
- Ensure every student has access to a hands-on media education
- And more!
We would be honored to partner with you this year. If you would like to learn more, discuss custom sponsorship options, or confirm your sponsorship level, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We would be happy to meet with you personally to answer questions and share more about our students’ work.
