Special Guests — The Rhythm Makers Orchestra
Step back in time to the golden era of music with Doug Horne and the Rhythm Makers Orchestra! They are a passionate band dedicated to reviving the timeless classics from the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. In addition to big band favorites, they’ll also perform Gospel music, delivered with a distinctive 1940s twist. With their authentic sound and nostalgic charm, they transport their audiences to an era of elegance, swing, and infectious rhythms.
202 Underwriting & Event Sponsor Opportunities
Each year, we invite a team of Underwriters and Event Sponsors to fully cover the expenses of our Annual Celebration and help us take the first steps toward reaching our event goal. This generous support ensures that 100% of the donations and pledges made during the evening go directly toward funding the ministry’s work over the next year.
By becoming an Underwriter or Event Sponsor, your gift is multiplied—allowing us to invite prospective donors at no cost and creating a ripple effect that inspires others to give generously.
As a thank-you, Underwriters and Event Sponsors (formerly known as Table Sponsors) will receive:
- An exclusive invitation to a VIP event held before the Celebration,
- A premium table for 10 guests,
- Recognition as a sponsor during the evening.
To be listed on the event invitation, responses must be postmarked by June 20th. To be included in the printed program, responses are due by September 5th.
Will you partner with us this year? Your investment will help ensure the continued success and impact of the mission of Living Alternatives.
Sponsorship levels are below for your consideration. If interested, please contact us at [email protected].
