Why Sponsor - Demonstrate community leadership while supporting stem education

We would not have the impact that we do today if it were not for the support of our donors. Through the years, our work has been supported by grants and contracts, revenue, corporate partnerships, and individual donations. Over time, less than 10 percent of our budget has come from public sources, and that portion is declining dramatically. Proceeds from galas, LHS memberships, and gifts to our annual fund are critically important to our organization. Gala Sponsorship offers many great benefits and is a wonderful way to demonstrate community leadership to clients and colleagues.
