Proceeds will support the Guardian ad Litem Foundation, which recruits, trains and supports court-approved volunteer child advocates who serve as the voice for Southwest Florida youth as they navigate the judicial, education and child welfare systems. The foundation also provides financial assistance to help meet a child’s basic and developmental needs, including the Children’s Needs Program that provides “extras” like birthday parties, tutoring, summer camp programs, movie tickets and registration fees for clubs and sports. The foundation serves children in Collier, Lee, Charlotte, Hendry and Glades counties.

Sponsorship opportunities start at $500 and include event tickets as well as recognition through marketing, advertising, public relations and social media. For more information about sponsorships, please contact Executive Director Jessica Stanfield at JStanfield@GALFoundation20.org or 239-533-1435.
