Ballet Austin and Snap To Launch Pioneering Sponsorship Program

AUSTIN, TX (PRWEB) May 20, 2005 -- Ballet Austin and Snap, Austins on-line auction company, have signed a contract to launch a first-of-its-kind program this summer aimed at leading corporations with interests in Austin.    

The details of the program will be released in the coming weeks, but according to Paul Walker, CEO of Snap, the program will be ground-breaking in the corporate sponsorship, on-line and ballet worlds.

Ballet Austin is known for its innovation in dance and now it is extending its innovation to the sales and marketing stage," says Walker. This program represents a major opportunity for a company, or individual, to demonstrate support for Ballet Austin and the Austin community in a highly-visible, global venue."

Snap generated national headlines last year when it auctioned The James Bowie High School Marching Band on eBay and successfully sold it, twice. Companies interested in learning more about the Ballet Austin project can call Walker at 512-632-8765 or e-mail paul@snaptosell.com.
