Help get businesses involved in our dog event in Simsbury, CT!

Save to Favorites

Do you like to get businesses excited about participating in a local event? We’re looking for volunteers to help seek and secure sponsorships, vendors, and offer advertising opportunities in the event program book for our annual dog event, which will be held on September 24, 2017 in Simsbury, CT. Raise a Paw Against Leukemia has 3 components to it: (1) a dog walk with 'challenge stations’ throughout it that owners can opt to participate in with their dogs; (2) dog fund-raising, in which dog owners can have their dogs get pledges (online crowdfunding) for their participation in any parts of the event (or just raise funds because they want to), and (3) a pet-related fair, with vendors and dog adoption opportunities. Dogs that get pledges are automatically entered into drawings for prizes.

There are several levels of sponsorship and sizes of advertising space available, so this can appeal to both large and small businesses.

Volunteers will be given a complete packet of sponsorship, vendor, and program advertising information and a list of suggested contacts, and can suggest other possible sponsors, too. Volunteers can choose which of these opportunities they want to talk to businesses about. If you enjoy doing any of these things to help businesses get involved in supporting a local community event, this is a great volunteer opportunity for you!
