Corporate Partnerships: Together We Can Do More! Camp Sunshine strives to establish reciprocal partnerships with businesses and groups in efforts to support our mission to provide retreats combining respite, recreation and support, while enabling hope and promoting joy, for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families through the various stages of a child s illness. We offer many opportunities for you to partner with Camp to help achieve our mutual goals. The underlining purpose of community and corporate partnerships are meant to enhance our current efforts and increase not only financial support for Camp Sunshine, but also bring increased brand awareness for your company or organization. Some of the ways we can showcase our corporate and community partners is by increasing the amount of visibility offered to each partner on our website, through social media, in our monthly enewsletter, quarterly print newsletter, annual report, and in event sponsorship packages. A completely revamped and new corporate partner page on our website will be launched in January 2016, which also allows for special attention to be brought to our corporate partners and offers our combined 40,000+ participating families, volunteers, donors and general visitors the opportunity to learn more about our partners and their commitment to supporting Camp. Thanks to the ease of social media, we are constantly updating and broadcasting to a larger audience, and hope to include your company name alongside our program updates. As Camp Sunshine prepares for our next series of cost-free year-around sessions, we hope that your business will support our efforts to serve families not only from Maine, but from across the U.S., as well as, the world who in turn have a significant impact on our economy. The success of our programming is greatly impacted by the generosity of local businesses like yours. Please take a moment to consider not only what your company can do for Camp Sunshine but what Camp Sunshine can do for your company or organization in appreciation of your commitment.
