- Sponsor a Table (requests must be received by March 4th)
- Table sponsorship is a great way to put your brand in direct view of all the people at the event. You can combine table sponsorship with your donation to the auction and an ad in the program for even more thorough outreach.
- Each table at the crab feed will have a display with the name and brand/logo of the sponsor. Each table can have one sponsor listed, $100 to sponsor a whole table and get your name and logo in front of hundreds of people. For smaller businesses, a table sponsorship is a great option to reach out to attendees without maxing out your marketing budget.
- Buy ad space in the program (email [email protected] ASAP to beat the printing deadline!)
- Buy a banner to display at the school* (*additional details pending)
- Direct donations are tax deductible
