In-Kind Sponsorship
In-kind donations raise awareness of our work and help to form and retain
partnerships with local businesses so they can be a part of making it ‘happen’.
The intention is to partner with others to raise sustainable in schools and
communities.
Along with keeping our current sponsors, new sponsors are needed to show
support to their communities and to support events and functions pertaining to the
teach, empower AND model initiative.
We will then give back to them through advertising their business, inviting them to
workshops, and offering them resources that will help prepare them to work on
social and character skills with their staffs.
These wonderful partners have provided in-kind support to a number of various
workshops we have had throughout the years. Please show your appreciation to
them!
