Dear Prospective Donor,
The Carolina For The Kids Foundation, the largest student-run philanthropy in the state of North Carolina, benefits the patients and families of UNC Children’s Hospital. Our year-round fundraising efforts both on and off the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill culminate annually in a 24-hour no sitting, no sleeping Dance Marathon. Each year nearly 2,000 students pledge to fundraise and stand for our cause. Our flagship grant, the For The Kids Fund, helps to cover costs incurred by families during hospitalization that are otherwise not paid for by insurance. Our other grants include Parents Night Out, which serves free hot meals to parents and families at UNC Children’s, and research grants, which help advance programs, services and other Hospital-based initiatives that directly impact care and specific patient-related needs. It is due to the generosity of each and every dancer, donor, and sponsor that we are now able to serve the patients & families of UNC Children's better than ever before.
As we look forward to what we hope will be another record-breaking year and seek to grow our partnerships, we greatly appreciate your business's interest in collaborating with Carolina For The Kids as a sponsor. We would love to have you on board!
Partnering with Carolina FTK not only gives your business the ability to support the patients and families of the hospital, but also provides unique marketing and student interaction opportunities for your company. As one of the most visible student-run organizations on UNC's campus, CFTK's activity is hardly limited to the 24 hours of the Marathon. We hold several events throughout the year starting with students' first weekend on campus in August all the way through the final week of classes in April; with approximately 450 UNC students serving the organization as committee members, over 2000 Tar Heels participating as dancers, and nearly 10,400 unique donors, we regularly reach thousands of students and families via email and other media. In partnering with us, you could reach those thousands as well.
In this section of our website you will find documents outlining proposed sponsorship levels based on your monetary, food, or in-kind gift donation. With a sponsorship your company is given an excellent opportunity for personal and meaningful interaction with some of UNC’s most dedicated and passionate students; prominent members of the Chapel Hill and UNC Children's communities including physicians, university administrators, parents of students, and business owners; and, of course, the patients and families we serve. The sponsorship levels and publicity opportunities listed serve as a framework for collaboration with our partners; we would love to discuss how to utilize this framework to best meet the wants and needs of your business as a prospective partner and supporter of our cause. It would be a pleasure to continue to develop this partnership through the coming year.
If you have any questions or are interested in a partnership, please feel free to contact one of us below, based on your interest. On behalf of the entire Executive Board and the families we serve, we appreciate your consideration and look forward to hearing from you!
Always Carolina For The Kids,
Mikaela Deininger, Beth Liles, and Hailey Jackson
