Sponsorship Opportunities for our 125th Anniversary Celebrations

Celebration Sponsor

In 1893, Fannie Harding opened her home to orphaned children as a memorial to her husband. Now, 125 years later, Fannie’s legacy has embraced more than 16,000 children who have suffered abuse, abandonment or neglect. Today at Monroe Harding we hold steadfast to that same mission: helping children in foster care, and young adults aging out, to heal and make meaningful change in their lives so that hope is the heartbeat of their future.

We invite you to join us as a CELEBRATION SPONSOR to honor this remarkable 125-year history of service in our community. This year, we have many events that will be under the 125th Celebration umbrella:

  • Monroe Harding Family reunion (April) – former residents of Monroe Harding residential programs from all over the country gather to celebrate at our Glendale Lane Campus.
  • Foster Care Parent Appreciation lunch (May) – to recognize and celebrate our amazing foster parents
  • Community Breakfast (June) – civic, corporate and thought leaders are invited to learn more about our mission.
  • “Fannie’s Angels” tea (July) – our highly sought after planned giving donors – supporters of our mission who have put Monroe Harding in their wills and life insurance.
  • Fostering Joy (October) – our largest fundraising event of the year
  • “Calling All Elves” (November) our holiday appeal (online and direct mail) for gift sponsorship for each child.
  • Foster Care Christmas party (December), the most magical event of the year for our foster families.

Our goal is to engage 2-3 CELEBRATION SPONSORS who will be an integral part of all of our communications, advertising, social media and events for the year.
