Were working against budget schedules. Can I commit to sponsorship now but pay closer to the event? Yes; however, your benefits will not be activated until we receive payment. Moreover, special packages (cocktail party, cabanas, etc.) will not be held for you. All benefits are first-come, first-served based on the date we receive your payment. Code PaLOUsa is a non-profit event completely run by volunteers. We simply dont have the bandwidth to deal with Accounts Receivable. May I contribute more than the minimum amount for a given sponsorship level? Yes. This will count towards your total contribution for logo placement and purchase limit for additional opportunities.
