SPONSORSHIPS

sponsorshipsSophie Gerson Healthy Youth offers a variety of sponsorships that can satisfy your funding priorities in focus and investment.

 

Our sponsorships cover three categories:

Program Sponsorships
School Sponsorships
General Sponsorships

With any sponsorship, we will prominently associate your organization’s name with the area you have designated. We would also include your name and your link or web address on our website, with more than 54,000 visitors and more than 142,900 pages read per year.  You will be recognized on our Facebook page and in all of our 4,600 plus print and online communications, throughout the year.

Your sponsorship is, in fact, a partnership and we would welcome you to designate a representative to serve on our Board of Directors or Advisory Board. You can observe our work at tournaments, dance performances, and other special events. As a program sponsor, you can visit our programs and schools, meet and speak with our students and faculty.

School Sponsorships

A donation of $50,000 allows SGHY to bring all of the above coordinated programming to one middle school, serving at least 170 students.  Our actual budget is closer to $80,000.  However, if you commit to $50,000 SGHY will raise the balance before seeking your donation.  With your school sponsorship, you will “adopt” a school and become part of the school community.

 

General Sponsorships

SGHY gladly accepts unrestricted donations.  We will apply your unrestricted gift where it is most needed to sustain and expand the programming described above in our current schools as well as additional ones. We ask you to consider the following general sponsorship levels. (Please note: The descriptions in parentheses below are just to provide an example of what a particular donation amount will cover.)
