Become a Sponsor
The Never Give Up Gala is more than just an unforgettable evening — it’s a powerful opportunity to create lasting change in the lives of children, young people, and families served by Wood’s Homes. As a sponsor, your support directly fuels critical mental health programs in our community, helping us respond with compassion, care, and expertise when it matters most.
But your impact doesn’t stop there. Sponsorship also connects your organization with an important cause, showcasing your commitment to community wellness and social responsibility. Aligning your brand with the Never Give up Gala not only supports vital programs – it makes a statement of who you are, how your company cares about a healthy community, and how your brand steps up to be a leader for change.
Sponsors benefit from valuable brand exposure through event promotions, signage, and digital media, reaching hundreds of engaged attendees and key influencers.
You’ll also gain access to exclusive networking opportunities with Calgary’s top executives and community leaders — making the Gala a powerful platform to align your brand with impact, leadership, and social responsibility.
