## Define a Related Account

If your new Sponsor is an existing Account, we have included an **Account** lookup field on the Sponsor record. This field will pull the Account's **Image URL**, **Bio**, and **Account Name** into the Sponsor record.

1. Add the **Image URL** field to your Account page layout.
2. Fill in the **Image URL** and **Bio**.
3. Add the **Account** field to your Sponsor page layout.
4. When creating a new Sponsor, set the **Account** field instead of the **Display Name**, **Image URL**, and **Description** fields. ![Delete related account 1](https://cdn.document360.io/f977eec0-500f-40a3-b663-724a51f78075/Images/Documentation/Delete%20related%20account%201.png)
5. Click **Save**. All the information is then pulled from the related Account record.

After saving, the Sponsor record should look similar to this. ![Delete related account 2](https://cdn.document360.io/f977eec0-500f-40a3-b663-724a51f78075/Images/Documentation/Delete%20related%20account%202.png)

## Hide a Sponsor from the Event Page

If your Sponsor shouldn't be publicly shown on the Event, you can use the **Hide On Event Page** field to ensure it is only visible internally.

1. Add the **Hide On Event Page** field to your Sponsor page layout.
2. Check the **Hide On Event Page** checkbox.
