2 Dear Potential Business Partner, Thank you for considering a sponsorship of the 9th annual Run With the Pack 5K + 1 mile fun run/walk to be held at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 18, 2016, in Columbus s Scioto Audubon Metro Park. Run With The Pack is one of the few races in the Central Ohio area that encourages participants to run or walk with their dogs. The day s festivities kick off with a 5K run and a 1 mile fun run/walk, followed by an awards ceremony, vendor fair and kids and pet activities. Each year, hundreds of devoted animal lovers attend Run With the Pack, and the event serves as one of PWP s main sources of income. Proceeds from this event support the lifesaving programs and services of Pets Without Parents, a non-profit, no-kill, all breed animal shelter that is building a more compassionate community by providing, adoption, pet-retention, rehabilitation, education and training programs. We save the lives of over 500 homeless animals each year and care for approximately 50 cats and dogs on a daily basis. In fact, Pets Without Parents adopts out more animals than any other shelter in central Ohio, with the exception of Franklin County Animal Shelter and Capitol Area Humane Society. As PWP s sole source of funding, donations are essential for us to continue to provide these important services to the community. Your sponsorship directly supports the feeding, care and adoption of homeless pets, including pets that, without PWP, would be euthanized by other shelters. Please help us continue this great work by becoming a sponsor today. Included with this packet is a sponsorship form, which includes a brief description of the various sponsorship levels and benefits, as well as information about in-kind and media sponsorships. In return for your sponsorship, you will enjoy increased name recognition and goodwill in the local community, through inclusion of your name on PWP s website as well as on Race materials. Sponsorship of Run With The Pack offers exposure that is more directly targeted, more effective, and less costly than traditional advertising. Of course, all donations are 100% taxdeductible. All title sponsorships include an optional exhibition space at the event. This provides an opportunity for additional visibility and the chance to make even more targeted connections with our supporters. If you would like more information or have any questions, please contact Board President Shennan Harris, by telephone at or by at pwpboard@gmail.com. Thank you!
