Sponsorship Benefits

Sponsors receive numerous media mentions leading up to the event (to include social media along with local TV & radio) depending on sponsor level, with all donations providing direct crisis support to veterans and military families within Craven County. Not only does Whitehurst-Ware Post 539 provide acute assistance and quality-of-life support such as rent, utilities, gas cards, and groceries to those veterans and families in need, but we also fully support organizations that have a direct impact on our local veterans, including Paws of War & Lap Robes for Veterans II. With the defense industry being the second largest economic sector in North Carolina and having numerous Department of Defense and United States Coast Guard bases located in Eastern North Carolina, your sponsorship signals to the greater community that you are a military veteran friendly business. Unlike national non-profits, MARCH FOR THE 22 is organized entirely by local volunteers which ensures that your donation goes directly back into the Craven County community.
