Support the center

We are looking for partners to help make this event possible and to support the center’s mission of providing essential services within a foundation of cultural values. These are challenging times for our community, and this event is an opportunity to help bridge those gaps. 

There are several sponsorship levels and a silent auction that provide different benefits to individuals and organizations. We are flexible and can collaborate to create a package that works best for you.
