Corporate Sponsorship of Lund's Premier Events
Lund Family Center enjoys stong partnerships with a number of area businesses and organizations. We pride ourselves on developing relationships that deliever significant value to our business partners while providing critical support of our work.
Lund relies heavily on private funds to support our mission. We hold events annually to bring our community together, reach out to new friends, and to raise awareness and financial support for our work.
This year, we are excited to expand our calendar of events as we enter Lund’s 120th anniversary and commemorate the agency’s rich history via statewide public education, outreach, and fundraising events.
Lund Family Center’s 120th anniversary in 2010 offers an umbrella under which all marketing, development and public relations initiatives will be launched throughout the year. Subsequently, each event and endeavor, however unique, will carry the LFC brand, the 120th Anniversary sub-brand for clarity of mission and vision with the goal of making independent events and initiatives resonate with existing donors, lapsed donors, prospects, volunteers, sponsors and the media.
Under this umbrella, we are proud and excited to offer a number of sponsorship opportunities, which will be posted shortly. Our goal in sponsorship is to develop long-lasting relationships with area businesses, organizations and individuals and to partner in a way that provides opportunity for all. Our collective of events presents multiple ways to engage our local community and to have a presence which targets several demographics.
