Each year, business and community volunteers help to make our exciting Spring Gala benefit happen. If you are someone who wants to make a difference and meet interesting, energetic people like yourself, please let us hear from you!

Join the Sponsor Committee
You will join other noted business leaders to generate awareness and support for our Annual Spring Gala. Specifically, we count on you to recruit your business as one of the event sponsors, help identify other potential sponsors, and serve as one of CIP's Ambassadors of Good Will at the event itself. The Sponsor Committee targets and contacts businesses for $500-$20,000 sponsorships. Monthly meetings begin in September. Members will learn about the history of CIP and will be given a support packet to use while calling, connecting, and meeting with potential sponsors.
