Sponsors

Thank you for your interest in sponsorship with DMUM! Without sponsors like you, our organization would not be able to grow and support pediatric therapy programs year after year. Regardless of how you choose to get involved, you’ll be supporting an amazing cause and ultimately improving the life of a child. Thank you for your interest in our organization and we hope to see you at the Marathon on March 24-25, 2012.

Marathon Branding Opportunities

With hundreds of dancers and thousands of volunteers, visitors, and family members, our sponsors are able to maximize their exposure both inside and outside the DMUM community. The Marathon itself offers many different opportunities to connect your brand with a good cause and gain exposure.

Screen: Screens on either side of the stage are used throughout the Marathon to gain dancers attention. Here we are able to display your logo to a captive audience.

Banner: The display of your banner provides visibility and allows the dancers and visitors to connect your brand with our cause.

Booth: Hosting a booth gives you the opportunity to hand out promotional material and gain valuable face time with the dancers and visitors.

Commercial: Commercials are another way to utilize the screens adjacent to the stage. A commercial can be an ad for your company or product, or it can be an encouraging message to dancers.

Theme “hour”: Throughout the Marathon themed blocks of time (4-6 hours) are used to keep the dancers engaged. Your company is able to sponsor a theme “hour” and all the activities and entertainment associated with it.

Stage time: The opportunity to speak on stage gives you a chance to promote your company in person to a large audience. You can also offer words of encouragement directly to the dancers.

Station: Stations are laid out around the perimeter of the building. Each station provides a different service to the dancers, including food, water, activities, entertainment, etc. By sponsoring a station, your banner will be hung from the ceiling above the station and any activities that go on within that station will be associated with your brand.
