LOCATION SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM

Protecting Families

Rip currents kill more people than tornados and hurricanes annually in the United States. During our brief Family Beach Safety beta testing, we were able to warn and protect many families from a rip current in Pensacola, Florida. 

Sponsorship Recognition

During the beta testing of our Family Beach Safety system, we started a petition and gathered over 100 signatures of families who want this great service made readily available. With a 100% success rate, people were literally going to tell other people about our service on the beach.

501c4 Donation

All donations are classified as 501c4 non-profit contributions. 501c4 contributions can often be considered marketing expenses. Please visit the IRS website for more information.

Beachfront Signage

Our drone pilots operate out of a 10ftx10ft white pilot station.  The pilot station will feature your sponsorship recognition on 3 sides. Over the peak vacation season, this will garner thousands upon thousands of views as well as unique social media shares.

Trifold Brochures

Beachgoers and their families will receive trifold,  brochures that explain our beach safety system. Our brochures will feature your branding on the cover and at the bottom of each page.

Partnership Recognition on our Website

Your Sponsorship will feature your custom Location Partner information on our Foundation website that includes: 

Brand Logo, Beach Location Address, and an optional message from the CEO/Owner.
