Ann Arbor Give Camp Needs Sponsors and Volunteers!

We’re always up for helping a good cause…and this looks to be a solid opportunity to do some good.

Ann Arbor Give Camp is a weekend-long event where IT professionals from all over Michigan and neighboring states get together to help non-profits with their IT needs. Non-profits have serious technology needs that they often cannot afford on their limited budgets; needs such as a new web site, efficient email, a donation tracking application, and more….

Through Ann Arbor Give Camp, the local community can come together, partnering charities with area technology experts, software programmers, marketing and brand identity analysts, graphics designers, and more, all in an effort to help out a good cause.

Sponsors:

We need sponsors to feed our volunteers! We are seeking cash donations and meal sponsorships to make this event happen. For your contribution, your organization will be featured prominently throughout the weekend, including at the opening and closing ceremonies, on much of the Give Camp marketing materials and communications, and on the Ann Arbor Give Camp website. Also, we have found that the charities continue to reference Give Camp in their materials long after the close of the event, further raising visibility of the event and its sponsors. This is a great opportunity to show IT professionals that you support their efforts, and maybe pick up a few new recruits for your business!

Cash Sponsor
$500 cash donation, payable by check or credit card (PayPal).

Meal Sponsor
Enough food and beverage to feed 100 people, including Give Camp volunteers, event staff, and charity representatives.

Your sponsorship will help to fuel over $100,000 in developer effort for charity.

If you would like to be part of Ann Arbor Give Camp, please contact us via email at sponsors@annarborgivecamp.org or call Jay Harris, lead organizer, at 517-974-9396. The deadline for event sponsorship is September 15th, 2013.
