Become a Grande Lecture Sponsor!
How do we bring these exceptional speakers to the stage? The answer lies in the generous support we receive from friends like you. By becoming a sponsor, you not only contribute to the flourishing cultural scene of our community but also gain access to exclusive perks and unique opportunities!
The Grande Lecture Sponsorship requires a minimum contribution of $5,000. And here’s the cherry on top: because this amount does not include goods or services, your sponsorship is fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. As a Grande Lecture Sponsor, you’ll enjoy some cool advantages:
Hassle Free Giving
Streamlined donation process, especially for those using family foundations or donor-advised funds.
Spotlight for your Support
Recognition shining bright in all our printed materials and on the big screen at our lectures.
Best View in the House
Get ready to kick back and relax in preferred seating at all our lectures.
Sponsor Exclusive Fun
We’re talking special receptions with our amazing speakers. It’s an intimate setting you won’t want to miss!
Most important to Friends, however, is that by becoming a Grande Lecture Sponsor you are helping to reach our goal of providing outstanding cultural and educational programs for Boca Grande. We couldn’t do it without your continued support.
Please consider becoming a Grande Sponsor today.
