SUMMARY:2026 Event Sponsorship
DESCRIPTION:We’re grateful for your continued support of Venture and for the important role you play in helping individuals with developmental disabilities build more independent\, fulfilling lives. \nSPONSORSHIP PACKAGE \nAs we look ahead to 2026\, we’d love to invite you to partner with us as an event sponsor for two of our signature fundraising events that help sustain and grow our programs: \n\n28th Annual Golf Classic – June 11th\, 2026\n20th Annual Sip & Support Event – September 17th\, 2026\n\nSponsorship opportunities are available at a variety of levels and include meaningful benefits for you and your business. Proceeds from these events directly support programs that enrich the lives of individuals and families in our community—such as adaptive yoga classes\, assistive technology\, adaptive sports equipment\, and free community events for children with autism. \nAs public funding becomes less predictable\, we are more reliant than ever on the generosity of sponsors and donors like you to keep vital services available to those who need it most. \nThank you for considering this opportunity to support our mission and make a meaningful impact. Our work reaches dozens of local communities\, including Sturbridge\, Auburn\, Fitchburg\, Worcester\, Uxbridge\, Southbridge\, Webster\, Dudley\, and many others. \nThank you for considering this opportunity to support our mission and make a meaningful impact. If you have any questions or would like to discuss sponsorship options\, please feel free to contact me at 774-922-1136 or kmason@venturecs.org. We’re grateful for your continued partnership and hope you’ll join us for one—or both—of these events in 2026. \nMORE INFO & SPONSOR HERE
