ZipperQ is a family-friendly event that includes a BBQ competition and public tasting. Attendees also experience live music and kids games. Sponsorship is a great way for your company to get exposure in the community, entertain key clients, reward employees and support the International FOP Association which funds research to find a cure for FOP while supporting individuals and their families through education, public awareness and advocacy.
