Header Information

As with any non-profit we rely on the help of local businesses to support our efforts. We know that there are so many worthwhile causes to support in your community and you certainly cannot help everyone. We want those who choose to help us to do so because they believe in and can share in the emotional side of what we do. If you would like to partner with the IM ABLE Foundation there are numerous ways in which to do so.

Event Sponsorship Opportunities:

2012 is our 9th Anniversary and there will be between 750-800 competitors and we average 2500 spectators. There are numerous opportunities to represent your company but we will also work with sponsors with any special requests you may have. We also host a Duathlon and your sponsorship can go even farther with less of an investment with one event if you combine both.
