LI-DOG Offers Sponsor Opportunities in Several Ways: 

FUNDRAISING EVENT SPONSORSHIPS

LI-DOG offers local businesses meaningful and visible ways to support its fundraising events including LI-DOG’s Barks & Brews, Barkin’ Brunch, and Howl-o-Ween Costume Contest & Pawty. Hosted at dog-friendly venues, these lively events bring together pet parents, animal lovers, and community members for memorable experiences centered around dogs, connection, and giving back.

Our signature events feature vendors offering specialty pet products including custom artwork, treats, toys and gear as well as valuable services such as emergency veterinary care, dog walking, dog boarding and training services. Guests also enjoy raffle baskets, contests, photo booths, craft stations, and other engaging activities that create a fun, high-energy atmosphere and encourage strong community participation.

Sponsors benefit from logo placement on event signage, dedicated sponsorship tables, live shout-outs during the event, and acknowledgements across LI-DOG’s website, email communications, and social media channels. 

Sponsoring LI-DOG events gives businesses valuable exposure while aligning their products and services with a trusted local organization and a cause that resonates with pet-loving audiences.

RAFFLE BASKET DONATIONS

Donating a raffle basket to LI-DOG is a meaningful way to support our mission while gaining visibility for your business among dog lovers and community members. Raffles are one of the primary ways LI-DOG raises funds at dog fairs, festivals, and signature events such as Barks & Brews, Barkin’ Brunch, and Howl-o-Ween. 

We gratefully accept donations of dog-related toys, treats, gift items, and other dog-centric products, as well as people-friendly offerings such as gift certificates to popular restaurants and bars, vineyards, breweries, and other local experiences. Creative, high-quality baskets and individual items alike help us build exciting raffle packages that attract attention and increase participation.

In return, your company will receive valuable recognition. Your business name will be prominently featured on the raffle basket and acknowledged during the event, as well as on LI-DOG’s website and social media platforms. This provides a positive, community-focused way to showcase your brand to attendees who value local businesses and pet-friendly organizations.

Your donation helps make our fundraisers more successful and directly supports LI-DOG’s work on behalf of dogs and the people who love them.

LI-DOG PACK WALK AND BEACH MEETUP SPONSORSHIPS

LI-DOG’s popular Pack Walks^TM—guided group on-leash walks in Long Island parks–and our annual Mud Creek Off-Leash Beach Meetup regularly attract 30 to 50 participants. Donations can support essentials like water for the dogs as well as giveaways. For our Beach Meetup, balls and frisbees are welcome. 

Your company name will feature prominently in event announcements, across Facebook, Meetup and Instagram and on our website and in emails. Additionally, your literature can be displayed before the walk begins. 

LI-DOG Looks Forward to Partnering with Your Business!

By partnering with LI-DOG, sponsors not only help make these events possible, but also demonstrate their commitment to local families, local pets, and the broader community. We welcome the opportunity to work with businesses that want to make an impact while building authentic visibility with an enthusiastic and loyal audience!
