SPONSORSHIP
OPPORTUNITIES
Sponsorship gets your business noticed during the Event!
Because Fearless Nation is a Not-For-Profit Organization, we
are tasked with achieving our mission to provide FREE education and
awareness-raising events to the public about PTSD such as this one. The
challenge we face in meeting this goal is in raising money for these events—and
making them “break-even” in costs.
That is why we are asking you to consider a sponsorship this
year. It is the Sponsors who make events like this possible. In return we do
our part to promote your business, service or interest, so that you feel you
are getting value for your contribution—while helping trauma survivors, their
children, spouses, families and communities.

your business, causes, and interests—before, during, and after the 10-day event
