2026 Banquet Opportunities
There are several opportunities to get involved with this year’s banquet!
Sponsor a Table
Table Sponsors, like Underwriters, contribute in advance to cover event expenses and help us reach our fundraising goal. This enables all of the donations and pledges given the night of the celebration to go directly towards the operating expenses of this ministry over the next year. To show our appreciation, Table Sponsors will receive an invitation to a VIP event before the celebration, a premium table with 10 seats reserved for you and your guests, and be listed as sponsors during the evening. Responses must be received via mail or email no later than August 23rd to be included in the program.
Host a Table
Do you have a passion for hosting and building connections with people? Hosts serve the vital role of introducing people to the Pregnancy Resource Center by inviting them to attend the banquet as guests and filling a table of 10 seats. Many people are introduced to the ministry through these invitations.
Will you partner with us this year? Your investment will ensure the success of the mission and future of Living Alternatives. Use the link below for more information or to register as a Table Sponsor or Host. If you have any additional questions, please get in touch with us at [email protected].
