Annual Corporate Partnership Program
One Investment. A Full Year of Impact & Local Visibility
At The Arrow Fund, we rescue and rehabilitate the absolute hardest cases of animal cruelty, torture, and extreme neglect. Our life-saving work is only possible because of compassionate businesses like yours.
Instead of sponsoring a single, isolated event, our Annual Partnership Program allows your company to secure a full year of premium marketing exposure, community goodwill, and exclusive VIP access across our entire 2026–2027 event calendar.
The TAF Event Portfolio Included in Your Partnership
- The “Pawteys” (Year-Round): We have up to four designated yearly Pawteys such as Mardi Gras, Furry Derby, and Howliday. These are fun dog and people events that include costumes, food, drink, and contests galore.
- Barkin’ on the River: A beautiful, scenic destination event drawing dedicated pet lovers, river boaters, and local professionals.
- The Arrow Walk: Our signature community-wide, high-energy, family-and-pet walk with ongoing visual branding.
- The 2027 Unnamed Mega-Event: Our upcoming crown-jewel event—a high-end, prestigious benefit that will attract major donors, media coverage, and enterprise leaders.
