Event Sponsorships
City of Hope offers businesses and brands a host of ways to partner in the fight against cancer and other life-threatening diseases. By sponsoring major events that directly benefit our globally-renowned research and treatment programs, each of those partners enhances their brand, increases visibility, and shows their commitment to bringing new hope to people everywhere.
Sponsorship Opportunities
At Walk for Hope events held in Los Angeles, Phoenix and Seattle, tens of thousands of participants unite to raise funds and awareness of women's cancers. Each event features a festival atmosphere and celebrity emcees -- and lots of media and social media exposure before, during and after the Walk. It's a perfect way for a sponsor to reach out to women (and men and children, too) who are passionate about beating cancer, and disposed to support the brands sharing their cause.
Yoga for Hope is a series of events for yogis of all levels to bring awareness to the benefits of yoga practice for patients with life-threatening illnesses. Held in four cities -- San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and Phoenix -- each of them combines education, sunshine, asana, fresh air, shopping, food and an opportunity to contribute to patients directly. They're an outstanding opportunity for a marketer to connect on a deeper level with participants and media in each of these communities, too.
