Catie's Closet 10th Anniversary Gala

Catie's Closet is looking for sponsors for its 10th anniversary gala, "A Night to Open Doors".

In 2017, this local sponsorship opportunity attracted over 380 sponsors, donors, and supporters that raised $150,000 for students in need. This year's event aims to raise $200,000 in support of 55,000 children living in poverty throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Sponsors will gain increased visibility within the organization's community of pioneers, philanthropic humanitarians, and local business leaders.

Sponsorship opportunities and costs

Companies that sponsor events will find the familiar tiered sponsorship opportunities:

• Diamond Sponsor for "A Night To Open Doors" 2020 Gala
• Platinum Sponsor for "A Night To Open Doors" 2020 Gala
• Gold Sponsor for "A Night To Open Doors" 2020 Gala
• Silver Sponsor for "A Night To Open Doors" 2020 Gala
• Bronze Sponsor for "A Night To Open Doors" 2020 Gala

As well as a couple of smaller, more specific sponsorship options:

• Welcome Cocktail Reception Sponsor for "A Night To Open Doors" 2020 Gala
• Coffee and Cordials Sponsor for "A Night To Open Doors" 2020 Gala

Sponsorship fees range from $2,500 - $25,000 for companies looking to sponsor the 2020 gala. If these options are too expensive for your organization, individual gala tickets can be had for just $150.

Sponsor benefits vary based on contribution level, but include things such as recognition at the event and social media promotions. Worth noting is that all tiered sponsorships (i.e., Diamond through "Friend of Catie's Closet") also receive year-long recognition on the Catie's Closet website.

All sponsors get name/logo placement at the event, though display method, size, media, etc. are determined based on sponsorship level. Additionally, all sponsors are listed in the Catie's Closet Annual Donor Report.

About the organization

Catie's Closet helps reduce absenteeism and get kids back in school. The organization does this by providing students living in poverty with an in-school resource for clothing and basic necessities. Lack of access to resources like those provided by Catie's Closet is one of the top reasons for absenteeism.

The organization serves 42,000 students in 73 schools (Pre-K to High School) across Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
