Event Sponsorship Opportunities
Autumn Lights, one of Nature Forward’s most popular annual fundraising events, typically attracts a sell-out crowd of our top supporters and members to our beautiful Woodend Nature Sanctuary for an evening of fellowship and fun.
This cocktail party event is an excellent way for sponsors to demonstrate their commitment to nature. Sponsorship aligns your brand directly with positive, powerful, and popular environmental conservation and education programs that engage youth, families, veterans, and a diverse audience of nature enthusiasts, including our top individual donors.
We invite your organization to join our vision of building a larger, more diverse community of people who treasure the natural world and work to preserve it.
