JOIN THE NAVY’S WINNING TEAM! SUPPORT OUR MILITARY FAMILY
Participate on Sunday, May 19, 2013
Show your military pride during May - National Military Appreciation Month. Be part of a special experience showing San Diego’s appreciation for those who serve in the military. Join in the Navy’s 27th Bay Bridge Run/Walk. Sponsorship of the Navy’s 27th Bay Bridge Run/Walk supports the event and provides vital financial support of our Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) programs that serve our military. Sponsorship commitments range from $500 to $25,000 and can be tailor-made to fit your organization’s marketing objectives.
This public, Navy-hosted event supports MWR’s quality of life programs for our 500,000+ active duty and retired military, reservists, their family members and civilian employees who make up our San Diego Military Family. Your involvement supports fitness centers, swimming pools, beaches, movie theaters, bowling centers, golf courses, youth and teen centers, childcare centers and more.
We invite your company to demonstrate your support for the men and women in our military services. Sponsorship of the Navy’s Bay Bridge Run/Walk provides high visibility focused directly at your target audience -- the military customer. You’ll have direct contact with our military to help build awareness of your business. If you want brand recognition at other events, that’s also achievable through the MWR Sponsorship program.
Your Sponsorship makes a difference to our military families and enables you to receive benefits beyond your business objectives. Show your patriotism and enjoy the personal satisfaction of providing the emotional support vital to military family life. Associate your business or product name with the positive image of the Navy’s 27th Bay Bridge Run/Walk to maximize name exposure and affiliation on base and within the community.
