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. With their authentic sound and nostalgic charm, they transport their audiences to an era of elegance, swing, and infectious rhythms.

Become an Event Sponsor

Each year, we invite a team of Event Sponsors (formerly known as Table 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 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, Sponsors will receive:

An exclusive invitation to a VIP event held before the Celebration,
A table of 10 seats reserved for you and your guests,
Recognition as a sponsor during the evening.

To be included in the printed program, responses are due by August 20th.
