Corporate Sponsorship - businesses & individuals

Become a Corporate Sponsor - Great Lakes Bay Animal Society 2020 Fast & Furriest 5K on April 25.

BECOME A SPONSOR FOR OUR BIGGEST FUNDRAISER OF THE YEAR!

Great Lakes Bay Animal Society is hosting our 10th Annual Fast and Furriest 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, October 15, 2022 at the Midland City Forest. We are expecting 250-300 participants, many of whom will attend with their dogs. Runners and walkers come from throughout Michigan to participate.

Your support as a Sponsor or Donor of this event helps defray the cost so that all race entry fees go directly toward our mission of saving more companion animals in our communities and continuing our community programs.

Great Lakes Bay Animal Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

We rescue abandoned pets out of over-crowded shelters and place them in foster homes.
From intake to adoption our rescues’ needs are responded to with compassionate foster care, skilled veterinary care, vaccines and are spayed or neutered.
Most animals surrendered to us are from shelters that cannot meet their medical needs. Since 2012, GLBAS has cared for over 884 animals that have received more than $100,000 in veterinary costs.

Benefits of Being a Corporate Sponsor

As a race sponsor, your business will receive publicity throughout the region on marketing materials which includes posters, flyers, Facebook promotions and announcements. On race day, and depending on the sponsorship level you choose, your business logo may be displayed on banners or signs and our popular race day t-shirts that every race participant receives. Your business logo/name (along with a link to your website) will also be displayed on our website homepage as a Corporate Sponsor.
