Join Us in the Dash!
Sledgehammer is currently seeking sponsors to donate to the prize packages for these talented—and brave!—writers.
Suggested donations:
• Gift certificates to online retailers
• Gift certificates for items from creatives—jewelry, art, books, or anything else you create!
• Gift certificates to Portland restaurants
• Gift certificates for services such as massages, Web design, graphic design, etc., by Portland-based businesses
• Memberships to Portland or online-based writing and other creative organizations
• Entrance to Portland creative events
• Money (Our winners love cash!)
• Any other products, services, or perks that fit your organization’s style
We have six prize packages this year, so please consider donating in sets of three or six so we may distribute prizes across the packages.
You’ll notice we prefer gift certificates over actual prize items. This allows winners to select items that suit them best. You may, however, stipulate on the gift certificate which items winners can choose from. We have a template gift certificate you may use if your company doesn’t already have one. All we need is your logo, a description of the prize, and redemption instructions.
Sponsor Tiers:
• Sledgehammer ($750 and up)
• Mallet ($500-$749)
• Hammer ($250-499)
• Tackhammer (Up to $249)
