Sponsorship Opportunities

Your support puts your name at the forefront of the social scene, in front of important consumers and high-level audience, demonstrating your philanthropy and support for:

award-winning senior centers and nationally acclaimed clinics
nutritious home delivered meals for older adults in need
caregiving support and licensed adult day services

You can be a hero to tens of thousands of older adults and their families in Southwest Florida who count on your help each year. Please join over 1,000 volunteers who are also heroes, allowing the Friendship Centers to have a volunteer to paid staff ratio of nearly nine to one, making the most of every dollar raised.

We offer a range of sponsorship levels, allowing us to call you “Friend” in many different languages. We hope you will join us in support of the Friendship Centers…promoting health, dignity and quality of life throughout the journey of aging.
