Raleigh Twestival, a local charity event is part of a global effort on February 12 to raise money and awareness for charity:water. Our unifying mission is to bring clean water to the 1.1 billion people in the world who don’t have access to it. Raleigh Twestival is looking for sponsors. Your business can be part of this fun social event and become a sponsor.

While helping this important cause, get your name and logo in front of the connected professionals in Raleigh. This group of social media mavens, fans and newbies is no longer an early adopter crowd. It is made up of techies, marketers, entrepreneurs, moms, dads, real estate folks, publishers and people who are using online tools in new and interesting ways to grow their businesses. If your product or service would appeal to these professionals, contact @RalTwestival on Twitter or by email RaleighTwestival at gmail dot com.

There are three different levels of sponsorship. A Bronze Sponsor is someone who donates something to our Twitter raffle. You can donate products or services for Twestival attendees to win throughout the evening. Your business name and logo will be listed on the Raleigh Twestival blog under Bronze Sponsors, featured during the raffle announcements and tweeted as people win your donation.

A Silver Sponsor is the first level of event sponsor. By making a $250 donation to support the event, your business name and logo will be listed as a Silver Sponsor on the Raleigh Twestival blog, your logo will be featured at the event, plus you will get to make a 1-minute video pitch that we will post online as part of the content of the event. The pitch video is yours to use any way you like after the event.

The highest level event sponsor is a Gold Sponsor. A $500 donation gets you a 2-minute live pitch at the beginning of the event, in addition to the 1-minute video pitch. Your business name and logo will be listed as a Gold Sponsor on the Raleigh Twestival blog, and your logo will also be featured near the entrance and the food. And all the money donated for Silver and Gold Sponsorships goes directly to charity:water.

And whichever sponsorship you choose, make sure you attend the event on February 12 to meet this community of connected Raleigh professionals.  We feel Twestival is a great example of Social Media for Social Change. Join us.

Don’t miss this great chance to support an important cause and get your message out. Contact @RalTwestival on Twitter or by email RaleighTwestival at gmail dot com.
