Sponsorship opportunities available for popular event; tickets on sale
The 7th Annual ICAN Festival of Trees, featuring holiday trees and wreaths decorated by local businesses and individuals for auction, moves to the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa in Chandler on Fri., Dec. 3. The event, which benefi ts ICAN, a Chandler nonprofi t that provides positive programs for Chandler’s youth, includes a new element this year: an opportunity for companies to sponsor and display a tree in their business in the weeks leading up to the event.
More than 300 attendees are expected from all over the Phoenix metropolitan area, and event press materials reach diverse audiences of more than 35,000 in the months leading up to the event.
Other sponsorship availabilities include Submitted photo
fi nancial gifts, table sponsorships, tickets and more, with varying benefi ts for each level. Proceeds go directly to ICAN to provide free, comprehensive out-of-school time programs that “empower youth to be productive, self-confi dent, and responsible citizens.” ICAN’s quality, research-based programs focus on the prevention of substance abuse and violence through building core social and leadership skills for youth academic and personal success, according to CEO Christy McClendon. “The annual proceeds from this exciting event help create opportunities for ICAN to reach its mission and vision throughout the year and provide quality programs to Chandler’s most at-risk youth,” she adds.
