Sponsorships and the IHHS: When It's a Perfect Match |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As the only non-profit organization devoted to helping the millions of people who live with and treat excessive sweating, the IHHS is ideally situated to bring sufferers and sponsors--whose focus is on excessive sweating treatments--together. Sponsors offer many benefits to the IHHS community, contributing everything from Botox treatments to the cost of printing patient brochures; likewise, our community can be of great value to our sponsors. In what other place would a sponsor-- with interests centered on the hyperhidrosis population--capture the attention of this vastly underserved audience? The IHHS is the only place that this can happen. |
