Four Pillars
Why activate at The EDC Remembrance Muster.
This is the answer for “why us” when your team is deciding where to spend the sponsorship budget.
Reach
Thousands of active Chicagoans in one place on one of the highest-attention weekends of the year. Pre-event social, on-site branding, post-event recap coverage.
Activation
This isn't a booth in the corner. Lead an entire experience — from the Beer Garden to the Fitness Village to the Recovery Lounge. Your brand becomes part of the day.
Alignment
You're standing with veterans, first responders, gyms, and neighbors. Purpose-driven. Community-first. Genuinely local. No greenwashed CSR.
Legacy
Founding sponsors are the ones we thank on stage every year. Get in for year one and you're written into the tradition.
Become a Sponsor
Six tiers. Real placement. Real impact.

Signature Model
Sponsor an experience — not a booth.
Align your brand with a signature experience that matches your mission and audience. A yoga studio can lead the Recovery Lounge. A running club can organize the Fitness Village. A veteran nonprofit can curate the Honor Walk.
