Corporate sponsors have the opportunity to support A Long Swim and, therefore, affiliate themselves with a creative nonprofit with an out-sized profile.

A Long Swim has a simple mission: ““To use open water swimming to raise funding for collaborative ALS research.” Our goal is to link a niche sport like open water swimming, with a niche disease like ALS. A Long Swim is well on its way to building that bridge.

As discussed elsewhere on this website, A Long Swim hosts Signature Swims, Open Water Summer Series Swims, and Sponsored Athletes. A sponsor of A Long Swim will have access to participants with very attractive demographics:

• Ages
  • 81% are ages 35 – 64
  • 52% are women
• Income
  • 50% have household income above $150,000
  • 34% have household income above $200,000
• Education
  • 93% have undergraduate degrees
  • 52% have graduate or professional degrees
• Participants
  • 100% are physically fit
  • 2,500,000 triathletes worldwide
  • 500,000 open water swimmers in the US

In addition, A Long Swim has raised $2 million since 2011. That funding has been provided by more than 3,000 donors who have made contributions of $5 to $25,000. A sponsor of A Long Swim will also enjoy exposure to this very attractive group, and the sponsor’s involvement will underscore the shared priority of finding a cure for the horrific disease that is ALS.

• Logo exposure displayed on event merchandise and t-shirts for swimmers and volunteers
