SPONSORSHIP

The primary funding source for the Corporate Challenge is team entry fees. In our effort to keep these fees as low as possible, sponsorship opportunities are available. A sponsor's financial commitment goes directly towards offsetting the costs that are not covered by the entry fees. If you are a community-minded company, then becoming a Corporate Challenge sponsor is for you!

You will receive a variety of benefits, including but not limited to naming rights, signage, logo recognition on marketing materials, opportunity to tie in vendors, as well as your team's entry in the competition.

If your company is interested in the sponsorship opportunities that the Cleveland Corporate Challenge has to offer, please contact Hermes Sports & Events.
