Make A Mark

Our Mission and Vision Make a Mark was established in 2014 to give nonprofits access to high quality marketing resources. The initial goal was to work hard and give deserving nonprofits something that could push their programs forward. What also came out of the event was so much more - a real community between the Makers and the nonprofits.

Why Sponsor? Being a sponsor for the 2018 Make-a-Thon gives you an opportunity to support the local nonprofit, creative and technology community. All donations go to the event itself including food, shirts and other items to make the 12 hours both energetic and productive. All of our sponsors will be recognized in front of professional and student designers and developers, as well as nonprofit and community leaders.
