sponsorship opportunities
Each year, the Raising the Roof Dinner & Entertainment Charity Event serves as a vital fundraiser to support the transformative work of Creative Living Unlimited. This year’s event is inspired by The Wizard of Oz, reminding us that everyone deserves a safe place to call home, meaningful opportunities, and a community where they belong.
We are dedicated to providing safe housing, meaningful employment opportunities, and enriching programs for individuals with disabilities. As the demand for our services grows, so does our commitment to meet those needs.
However, with a long waiting list and no tax levy funding as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we rely on the generosity of individuals, businesses, and our community to continue our mission.
We invite you to step into this year’s story and help build a place where there’s truly no place like home. By becoming a Sponsor, donating auction items, or attending the Gala, you will directly support the over 800 children, youth, and adults with disabilities who benefit from our programs.
Why Sponsor?
- Visibility: Showcase your business to a dedicated and passionate audience.
- Impact: Make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities.
- Community: Join a network of like-minded supporters committed to building an inclusive future.
Your sponsorship includes opportunities for recognition, event tickets, and exclusive benefits.
