Making Exceptional Programming Possible
Sponsor a Post-Lecture Reception
Host a reception in your home or preferred venue and provide food and beverages for lecture sponsors following the lecture. These gatherings offer a relaxed setting for attendees and speakers to continue the conversation.
Host a Visiting Lecturer
Provide lodging for an out-of-town speaker, along with meals and local transportation as needed. Hosts play an important role in creating a warm and welcoming experience during the lecturer’s stay.
Sponsor a Lecture Program
Help underwrite the cost of bringing a distinguished speaker or entertainer to Boca Grande. Program sponsors receive recognition and play a vital role in supporting the continued success of our programs.
See below for sponsorship benefits, recognition opportunities, and additional details.
Perks & Appreciation
- Complimentary tickets to the lecture
- Premium reserved seating
- Sponsor recognition in program materials
- Invitation to sponsor reception (where applicable)
- Meaningful opportunity to engage with featured speakers
- The satisfaction of supporting Friends of Boca Grande’s cultural programming
Sponsorships are the foundation of all we do. Sponsorships help bring exceptional lectures, concerts, films and cultural experiences to Boca Grande while ensuring the quality and caliber our community has come to expect.
While ticket sales offset a portion of costs, sponsorships make it possible to attract outstanding talent, support professional production, and continue growing our programming, including exciting new opportunities in our upcoming theater. Your support plays a vital role in sustaining and elevating the experiences that bring our community together.
Thank you for making each season at Friends meaningful in our community. If interested in sponsorship, reach out to Tammy at trigney@fobgcc.org or call 941-964-0827.
