General Sponsorship

The Mystic Krewe of the Seahorse (MKOTSH), an IRS Status 501c (4) non-profit organization, seeks annual sponsorships for all 2026 events!

MKOTSH, a distinguished non-profit organization, voted Hancock County non-profit of the year in 2022, stands as a dynamic catalyst devoted to nurturing tourism, education, and economic development within the bounds of Mississippi’s Hancock County.

Our mission comes alive through signature events, most notably the highly anticipated annual Lundi Gras Parade and the iconic Pirate Day in the Bay (PDITB) celebration. MKOTSH also hosts the annual Seahorse Open Golf Scramble, Pirate Beach Invasion and Mutiny in the Bay Pirate Party.

MKOTSH events garner local news coverage, as well as social media promotion. In addition to media coverage, PDITB was recognized twice by Mississippi Magazine, ‘2021 MList Travel’/‘2022 Best of MS Travel’ and awarded the Southeast Tourism’s ‘Top 20’ events in the Southeast.

MKOTSH gave over $21,000 in donations and scholarships in 2025. Your contribution will helpus to increase our donations and scholarship offerings to Hancock County students.

Corporate and Business sponsorship is a unique way for your business to be recognized: thereby, showing your support of promoting our community and helping worthy causes.
