UCI Care-a-thon is dedicated to building strong partnerships with the corporate community in support of the UCI Care-a-thon and its mission of helping to save the lives of countless babies in crisis.

Benefits of corporate support

• Grow the visibility of your organization with the addition of your logo on Care-a-thon publicity efforts to reach more than 30,000 UCI students, staff and alumni:
  • The Care-a-thon T-shirt, a popular item displayed by thousands of students on and off campus, offering name exposure in Orange County and beyond.
  • The Care-a-thon web site, flyers, other marketing channels and on-site at the event
  • Acknowledgement in Your UCI, the alumni magazine of UC Irvine
• Strengthen costumer loyalty and find new customers. Care-a-thon participants feel a strong sense of connection with the fight in support of healthy babies and are more likely to support companies with similar concerns.
• Opportunities to recruit high-caliber students from a top university.
• Support student philanthropy that not only benefits the community at-large but encourages future generations of philanthropy-minded community leaders.
