The Lombardi Award™ Virtual Sponsorship
 
Sponsorship levels start at $1000. Support raised beyond the $1000 may be directed to your local chapter of ACS or a specific project/institution of your choosing in your local/regional area for cancer research.
 
Clubs and districts are encouraged to host a "watch party" during the live streaming of the event or another collateral event of your choosing. For example, a casual gathering in a sports bar, private home or other venue appropriate for the type of event chosen. Suggest using this watch party or collateral event/activity to raise funds for cancer research in your community or regional area. Be creative and have fun while doing good - involve your Rotaract/Interactors!
 
The Rotary Lombardi Award Committee, upon request, will attempt to secure a former winner, finalist or other sports figure to attend your watch party.
