Become a sponsor!

​If you are interested in supporting the 2020 event in any way please feel free to complete the form below and we will be in touch!

Why do we need sponsorship?
The purpose of sponsorship of the event is so that all expenses are covered and that ALL money raised by the swimming teams is gifted to local charities. The principal charity recipients will be decided and announced in January 2020 (2019 principal charities were Orewa Surf Life Saving Club, Red Beach Surf Life Saving Club, Orewa Sea Scouts and Hibiscus Coastguard), but other local charities are also being invited to bid for a minor share of the monies raised. After covering expenses, any surplus from Corporate Sponsorship will also be gifted as above.

NOTE: Rotary takes nothing from sponsorship other than receipted expenses for the event and every cent of every Dollar raised by the swimmers is gifted to charity.
 
What does a sponsor get for their money?
We have 4 levels of sponsorship, offering increased levels of exposure within the event:
 

• Community Sponsorship $250 (unlimited opportunities)

The sponsor’s name will be announced over the PA system at every hourly session during the event. Their name and website link will feature on the RotarySwimarathon Facebook page and on the RotarySwimarathon website. Publicity in local press associated with the RotarySwimarathon event. Sponsors are invited to attend the presentation evening at Rotary House, on a date to be announced following the event.

• Medal Co-sponsorship $450 (4 opportunity remaining)

The above, plus the medal sponsors will be invited to share presentations of the medals to the swimmers after their sessions and be featured with the swimmers in the professionally-taken team photos, freely downloadable from the RotarySwimarathon website after the event.
 

• Lane Sponsor $750 (7 opportunities – 4 remaining)

The above, plus the sponsor will be able to display their own banner (up to 2 x 1m approx.) throughout the event. Lane Sponsors would also have their corporate identity displayed prominently on a 1m x 1m board throughout the event, at the end of the pool lane that they sponsor. Additionally, the RotarySwimarathon Facebook and Website pages would display a small advert for the company: before, during and after the event. 
​

• Event Sponsor (Taken for 2020) 

The above (less the lane board),  plus the Event Sponsor’s name and logo will appear on a durable prize given to every swimmer, and these will be used long after the event finishes. This will be exclusive, so no other business will feature on the prize. Event Sponsors have the opportunity to attend and start at least one of the swim sessions during the event, and to speak briefly and be photographed presenting cheques to one or more of the recipient charities at the presentation evening. Additionally, the Event Sponsor will be able to display their banner (2m x 1m approx.) at the presentation evening. Plus, the RotarySwimarathon Facebook and website pages would display a large advert for the company: before, during and after the event.
