We are excited to extend an invitation to you and your esteemed business to support our upcoming Mardi Gras Carnival Fundraising Gala, hosted by the ALIVE Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering local teens (www.alivecenter.org). The event will take place on Friday, May 10, 2024, at the Chicago Marriott Naperville from 6:00 to 10:00 pm.

The ALIVE Center serves as a vital resource for local teens, providing a nurturing environment where they can explore their passions, develop leadership skills, and build resilience. Through our programs and activities, we strive to instill a sense of belonging, discovery, and empowerment among youth in our community.

Our gala promises to be a spectacular event filled with carnival fun and games! Guests will enjoy roaming entertainment, indulge in delectable heavy hors d'oeuvres, and sip on refreshing beverages from our open bar. Additionally, we will have teen experience tables, a thrilling drop the paddle, raise the paddle session, and more!

As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of our community partners to support our mission. We are seeking sponsors and in-kind donations to help make this event a success and further our efforts to empower local teens. With over 12,000 social media followers, your organization will receive great exposure.

We offer various sponsorship packages tailored to meet your business's needs and objectives, providing an excellent opportunity to increase your brand visibility and demonstrate your commitment to supporting local youth. In addition, we welcome in-kind donations for our raffle, offering businesses a chance to showcase their products or services to our gala attendees.

Your support will not only make a difference in the lives of teens but also align your business with a cause that resonates with our community. Together, we can create a positive impact and inspire the next generation of leaders.
