Selection process and application deadlines
To ensure that sponsorship funds are being allocated to meet our criteria and goals, each application undergoes a full review by the sponsorship committee. Applications should be received 90 days in advance of your event or launch date, and we ask that you allow a 45-day response window for your sponsorship request.

Requests for in-kind support (i.e. health screenings, promotional items/giveaways, etc.) will be assigned a monetary value and considered part of our contribution to an organization.
