Sponsorship


While we have a generous benefactor, we are looking for supplemental support. The One Annapolis team seeks sponsors to contribute to the cost of hosting this event. Sponsors will receive recognition in printed and digital materials and an acknowledgment from Mayor Buckley and Mr. Barnes.

Sponsors may also sign up to coordinate collection of bookbags and supplies, a crowd-sourcing of materials to benefit young people in our community.

This event is integral in helping the youth of Annapolis be prepared for the school year ahead and we are excited that your organization is interested in supporting the effort.
