Event Sponsor

Donating

EVENT SPONSOR

Business organizations may wish to combine the cash and in-kind service donations into one donation by sponsoring an entire event, such as skiing.  At this level, the sponsor's name will be directly linked to the event in all press releases, signage at the event as well as the customary acknowledgement from the Management Team.  Business organizations who choose this method also can get their employees involved as volunteers in various capacities from registration officials to race timers and athlete companions.

This is a great way to build cohesiveness within your own organization.
