Sponsorship Opportunities
This year, sponsorships will focus on the Arts. Funds will support taking students on Arts related field trips and hiring local artists to provide classrooms with experiential learning, opportunities to collaborate, explore, share and design.
​
We are excited to offer a wide range of sponsorship levels. Please note that as a “challenge” sponsor, we will use your sponsor dollars to serve as a matching challenge to other donors during the virtual auction. This creates leverage and momentum, and we expect to honor your generous gift by getting others to step up as well! To us, and to our students... you are our heroes! We thank you for your continued commitment to our schools.

Donations may include gift certificates, tickets and the like for the silent auction.
