We’ll keep you dancing into the night at our second annual After Party overlooking the beautiful pool at the Country Club.

Sponsorship opportunities are available in a wide range of levels: a list outlining the benefits of each level is attached (fact sheet on the back cover), along with a response form, and current brochure. We will follow up with you regarding this sponsorship opportunity. If you have any questions, I would be happy to talk with you, or you may also reach out to our Executive Director, Andria Hanley, at 305.446.9670 or [email protected]. Wishing you continued success,
