Vendor Information and Application

 

Vendors are welcome at Tighten The Drag Foundation Charity events as space permits. 

 

We welcome Vendors who are Sponsoring our event with a cash sponsorship or a donation of  product or service  valued at $500 or above that is of interest to our target audience. We also provide limited spaces to local registered non profit charities listed on Guidestar.org with a minimum of a Silver transparency rating at no charge for you to raise awareness about your cause. Educational and informational booths are also allowed where no profit is being generated and the goal is to create public awareness. 

 

Vendors may provide informational brochures, business cards, promotional products or other information about their business that will be placed in our event Swag Bags. This gives our participants an opportunity to review your information at their leisure. We encourage you to provide a discount coupon or special "VIP" opportunity to foster leads.

 

We will list your business as a Vendor on our website between events and will recognize your company across our social media platforms.

 

Being a part of our "team" is a WIN-WIN for all and most especially for the Spinal Cord Injured whom we support through scholarships to attend the very necessary therapy they need for recovery.
