Sponsorship
An Investment in YOUR Community
As a sponsor of this unique Christmas luncheon on Vancouver Island, your message will be heard by thousands, including your very own customers. Through numerous promotional efforts, your brand will be linked to this great cause for weeks before and after the event – in meaningful ways.
Your company will benefit from thousands of impressions, tied to one of the most recognizable brands in British Columbia.
All funds raised from the luncheon will be supporting the local community in need.
We hope you take this opportunity to invest with us.

The Event
The Hope in the City Luncheon brings together thought leaders and philanthropists from the Island community. It is an opportunity to come together, ring in the holiday season and recognize and celebrate the importance and impact of philanthropy in our communities.
