Dean Martin Festivalgolf event seeking sponsorships

The Dean Martin Hometown Festival returns to Steubenville this week, running from Thursday to Saturday, and will include a significant reunion with the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The highlight is a telethon-style event on Saturday, featuring performances and multimedia presentations that aim to replicate the original MDA telethons hosted by Martin and Jerry Lewis. Co-host Matt Macis noted the historical significance of Martin's involvement in the telethons, which were pivotal in fundraising efforts for the MDA. Attendees are encouraged to bring picnic supplies for a comfortable experience on the venue's green space, and a livestream will facilitate remote donations. In addition, the festival will host the inaugural Dean Martin Association Charity Golf Scramble on Friday morning, blending fun with fundraising efforts.

Local businesses are invited to sponsor swag bags for participants, helping to preserve the cultural legacy of Dean Martin. Sponsorship tiers range from $500 to $2,000, providing various promotional opportunities for local businesses. The golf scramble supports the association's mission to honor Martin's contributions while benefiting local causes.
