Book!
 140 teams attended Pitch 2009 with appr. 10,000 people
present. Pitch 2010 will host upwards of 150 teams with an expectation
of over 6,000 people present each day of the event. Placing your
ad in our event book will give your organization positive visibility,
help us underwrite the cost of the event and assist us in reaching our
donation goal for this year. In the last four years, we’ve raised $62,500.00
for Komen! You can help with any size ad or donation and
make this 5th Annual Event extra special!
The event book will be created in a manner that will
encourage attendees to keep it and refer to it
throughout the following year. This makes the Pitch for the Cure 2010
program the PERFECT place to advertise your company and get long-term
exposure at a small price! PLUS after the event, the 2010 program will
be placed online for extra advertising exposure!
