The organizers are still looking for groups to have fundraising teams, as well as “in memory of” or “in honor of” donations. These include a white luminaria bag for $5, a gold luminaria bag for $15, a sky lantern for $25 or a tiki torch/pull bow and personalized oval glass ornaments for $75.
There are also sponsorships available for groups and businesses. These range in price from $150 for a bronze sponsor that includes the business name in the program and a sponsorship sign for the business to $2,000 for a title sponsorship that includes headline billing in all promotional materials, corporate logo in the event program, on the RFL t-shirts, on the sponsorship banner at the event and a sponsorship sign to be displayed at the business.
In-kind donations will also be accepted and count toward the sponsorship amounts.
