View Corporate Sponsorship Letter & Form

We are approaching sponsorship differently this year—focusing on a smaller number of thoughtful partnerships that deliver meaningful community impact and real visibility for your business.

As a sponsor, you may receive:

  • Connection to a highly local, affluent, community-minded audience

  • Recognition on website and communications

  • Visibility at the Garden Party and related events

  • Social media promotion throughout the year

CHORE fills everyday gaps - transportation, meals, and companionship - that make independence possible. Sometimes CHORE is the difference between a client staying at home and having to leave it.

Please consider partnering with us as a sponsor.
