BECOME A SPONSOR TODAY!


All donations, monetary and in-kind, made to OttoTHON have a significant impact on the patients and their families at Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital. OttoTHON prides itself in giving 100% percent of our fundraising total directly to Upstate, and creating mutually beneficial relationships with all of our sponsors.

Corporate sponsors are an integral part of our organization and a key component to organizing a successful event and raising money for the hospital. Sponsors have the chance to be an integral part of Syracuse University’s largest student-run philanthropy. Join The Movement today, and help make miracles for patients at Upstate!

OttoTHON is more than a one-night event - it is a year-long fundraiser and celebration of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Throughout the year, Syracuse students in more than 100 student organizations will attend community events, fundraising nights at local businesses and engage in contests, often via social media, to benefit our sponsors. During the big event in the spring, our directors, committee members, staff members and dancers will spend 12 hours dancing in one space, offering continuous brand exposure for our sponsors. If your company targets young professionals and enjoys giving back to a wonderful cause, OttoTHON is for you.

Where our money goes

By making a donation to OttoTHON you are making a difference in the lives of hundreds of children at Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital.

All of the funds we raise will go directly to Upstate Golisano. This means your gift to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals will help make miracles happen for
children living in Upstate New York.
