 Celebrating the Glitz and Glamour of Tinseltown
 Saturday, March 6, 2010

The success of each Little Friends special event relies heavily upon the generosity of local businesses through corporate sponsorship. Through our sponsorship opportunities (Sponsorship Brochure), your company will be able to choose a level of involvement that will meet your business needs and budget considerations, and generate goodwill by directly impacting lives within your community. By helping to underwrite costs associated with this year’s Bids for Kids Benefit Auction, you will make a difference in the lives of the more than 800 children and adults with development disabilities served by Little Friends each year.

As a sponsor for the 34th Annual Bids for Kids Benefit Auction, your organization will enjoy exposure to a sold-out crowd of nearly 500 guests at one of the area’s longest-running auctions. To maximize visability, all sponsors are recognized through prominent event signage and an advertisement in the Auction catalog. Additional sponsor benefits are listed below.
