Eighth Annual Little Friends Golf Classic

Monday, September 20, 2010

Presented by Grants Appliances, Electronics and More

The success of each Little Friends special event relies heavily upon the generosity of local businesses through corporate sponsorship. Through our unique sponsorships, 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 golf outing, you will make a difference in the lives of the more than 800 children and adults with autism and other developmental disabilities served by Little Friends each year.

Each level of contribution is recognized with sponsorship benefits that will ensure maximum exposure for your organization. To download a copy of our 2010 Sponsorship Brochure, please click here. For more information or to reserve your sponsorship, please contact:
