On behalf of The University of Tampa’s Board of Fellows, we invite you to partner with the Fellows to participate in its flagship fundraiser event, the Fellows Forum, to be held on February 19, 2019, at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Tampa.

The Fellows Forum presents a distinguished panel of national and global CEOs to share their perspectives on current business trends with the Tampa Bay business community.

Proceeds from the 2019 Fellows Forum will fund the Board of Fellows’ Endowment, providing scholarships to UT students enrolled in the John H. Sykes College of Business, and other student programs. The University of Tampa is committed to providing quality education to socially and economically diverse students. The Board of Fellows, in support of The University of Tampa’s mission, is a longtime supporter of the University and helps make education affordable for many UT students.

Verizon has been a long-term partner with the Board of Fellows to ensure the success of this program, and we are thrilled to again have their support of the Fellows Forum as Presenting Sponsor. We hope you will join Verizon by becoming a corporate sponsor. The sponsorship opportunities range from $1,000 to $10,000 and offer an exceptional amount of visibility to benefit your organization. Please see attachments for details.

We will be reaching out to discuss sponsorship opportunities. If you would like to receive more information or request an invoice, our contact information is provided below. With your support, we look forward to making a record contribution to the UT Sykes College of Business.

Thank you for your consideration.
