Rocking to Heal Little Hearts,

About the event

As the medical field advances we find that in some areas such as childhood cardiac issues, the advancement has not progressed near as fast as the young children desperately need. 

It is our commitment in bringing the Rocking to Heal Little Hearts concert to life in a true effort to raise much needed funds for the Geisinger's Janet Weis Children's Hospital and their Cardiac Surgery units. 

It is our hope, that by bringing five amazing rock bands together on one stage, for two nights only, we as a community can open our hearts not only to the sounds of rock-n-roll, but to the sounds of little hearts beating for years to come because of your donations, ticket purchases and so much more. 

Together, we as a true community can help our children's hospital in their time of need. Together, we can help march cardiac surgical advancements well into the future.

Together, we can HEAL LITTLE HEARTS!

Why should you sponsor?

1. Brand Visibility

Studies say it takes 7 to 11 times for somebody to see your message and actually remember it. One of the best reasons to sponsor the Rocking to Heal Little Hearts event is the number of people that will have eyes on your brand, (10,000+). This is an opportunity for your business to either solidify your presence in the market, or to start working on brand recall or introduction while tapping into a new market. Plus, our event will add sponsor logos to T-shirts, banners and other take-home goodies, so your brand visibility will live on long past the event.

2. Build Relationships

Sponsoring the Rocking to Heal Little Hearts event is yet another area where your business can build trust with potential customers. You’ll form relationships in our community with attendees, other event sponsors and the event production team. If business is a world of connections, this is your chance to expand your network.

3. Targeted Reach

Choose an event with attendees who would make the ideal customer for your small business. While our event doesn’t have to align exactly with what your business does, our event should hopefully have the same target demographic or a new market you are trying to reach. Your Rocking to Heal Little Hearts event sponsorship is a great opportunity to get in front of an audience you may not otherwise have the chance to reach.

4. Generate Leads

With event sponsorship, attendees will be a mixture of potential customers who have already heard of your business and some new potential leads. The sponsorship will put your name top of mind for those prospects who are closer to making a purchasing decision.

If “out of sight, out of mind” is true, this puts your brand front and center. 10,000+ attendees, 10,000+ more new potential leads for your business.

5. Positive Image

Sponsoring the Rocking to Heal Little Hearts event can help show what your business is all about, and that’s a good thing. While creating positive public perception shouldn’t be the sole factor behind sponsoring our event, it’s definitely an added benefit.
