Why Sponsor The Big Event?

Sponsors of The Big Event are offered many intangible benefits. In particular, all donations to the Big Event are tax deductible since we are a 501(c)3 organization. Also, you may have a group of volunteers representing your organization volunteer as a team at one of our job sites. Finally, The Big Event has many venues through which we can offer publicity and advertising to your organization.

What Does The Big Event Offer?

The Big Event helps the community beyond providing labor by providing the supplies organizations need but cannot afford. Other needs contributing to our costs are lunches and t-shirts for the volunteers and advertising and administrative costs. The Big Event accepts both cash and in-kind donations. All donations are tax deductible.

The Big Event is prepared to offer our partners comprehensive promotional opportunities that will publicize your company or organization on the University of Oklahoma campus as well as throughout the Norman and Oklahoma City areas. The Big Event offers our sponsors numerous advertising venues such as publication in the Oklahoma Daily with a readership of 22,000 and advertising on the Sooner Information Network, the largest online community at a university in the United States with 31,000 registered users and an average of 20,000 page views per day. In addition, ad space is available on the CART public transportation system, on 5,500 T-shirts, and space on digital billboards at the Oklahoma Memorial.

Sponsorship levels start at $100. Our 2012 sponsorship packet will be available in the Fall if you would like to learn more. Thank you!
