When you become a sponsor of Friends of Marin Center, you indirectly help all the agencies and schools in your community through the FOMC Outreach Program. You also help to ensure that Marin Center continues to improve its ability to be a world class venue, attracting top talent from around the world and audiences from around the Bay Area.
As an FOMC business sponsor, you receive extraordinarily high visibility, with multiple mentions in the Marin Center Magazine going out to 70,000 households three times a year. FOMC Gala sponsors are thanked in the event program, signage at entrances, both seen by the 2000 event attendees, and repeatedly in all articles about the Gala in the Magazine, and in the FOMC Friends newsletter.. And, as you can see, our sponsors are proudly listed here on our FOMC website. Presenting sponsors have the impressive addition of being featured on the highly visible electronic readerboard positioned alongside Highway 101.
Sponsors receive a number of perks at Marin Center events as well, including free tickets, depending on their level of sponsorship. To find out more about sponsorship, please call the FOMC office at (415) 499-6014.
