An Invitation Only Event for Captains’ Table Members
During this hilarious and exciting live auction you can bid to underwrite Annual Gala costs, including the band, the tent or the porta-potty! If live auctions aren’t your thing, there will be plenty of other items you can support, such as field trip costs, program supplies, or even canoes and kayaks.

Sponsor the celebration of the organization’s birthday with a gorgeous cake and the first cut!
Your name literally holds the roof up–it will be displayed on one of 4 of the structural tent posts.

Sultana’s Gala wouldn’t be the same without top notch entertainment. Sponsor the band and get your name on the Jumbotron

Hang one of these lanyards around your neck and skip to the front of all the lines. People won’t hate you…they will just wish they were you.
