Hilliard/Ray Patch Family YMCA

Hilliard Hurricanes Swim Team

3^rd Annual Midnight Madness Invitational Sponsorship Proposal

October 10, 2009

Gifts from generous citizens and corporations bring life to the YMCA of Central Ohio’s mission to help children and families grow healthy in spirit, mind and body. Corporate citizens who care about making a difference in their community can provide valuable resources to the YMCA.

Helping the YMCA meet its mission by supporting its special events and taking advantage of marketing opportunities is a mutually beneficial means for a participant in the YMCA Corporate Sponsor Program to work with the YMCA. Corporate support of the Y allows the Y to concentrate on quality programming. It also provides a great vehicle for hundreds of youth and families to recognize the generous community spirit of our corporate partners.

Support for mission, community development or special events are ways for your corporation to show the many people who visit and take part in programs at the Y its commitment to the community. We have many sponsorship levels available. Please see our descriptions below:

· Title Sponsor (exclusive)

· Gold Venue Sponsorship

· Silver Lane Sponsorship

· Bronze Parent Sponsorship

· Product Sponsor
