Sponsor an Event

Our events wouldn’t be possible without brilliant sponsors like you.

When you sponsor a Special Children’s Christmas Party it means we can make each event BIGGER and better! Most importantly, it means we can invite MORE children and make their day too.

We have a range of corporate sponsorship packages, starting at $300. Each sponsorship package comes complete with digital advertising through our media partner NZME, meaning your contribution will be publicly recognised across a number of NZME's digital formats throughout New Zealand.

Our events are also highly publicised through television advertising, Facebook & Instagram posts and you are invited to attend as a volunteer, so you can see just how much your sponsorship means.
