MARKETING
SPONSORSHIPS
Marketing Sponsorships support community events or general invitation fundraisers hosted by Erie-area nonprofit organizations or occasionally local branches of national organizations. Marketing Sponsorships include a tangible benefit to the Foundation and include publicly showing our support, which benefits both organizations.
