Sponsorships Join Lehigh Valley Health Network and Olympus to gain insights in to the “donors” side of the sponsorship process and crafting compelling proposals. Our discussion will cover key elements of successful sponsorship submissions, including aligning with a sponsor's objectives, articulating your organization's impact, and detailing the tangible returns for funders.
