Sponsors are being sought for Acts 4 Ministry’s fourth annual fundraising reception, “Inspiration: Inspiring acts of love”, that will be held Wednesday, May 10th from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. in the Lower Orchestra Lobby of the Palace Theater in Waterbury.
Sarah Elizabeth Carabetta, executive director of the Waterbury-based non-denominational, non-profit charitable organization, stated, “This fundraiser is a celebration of the many ways our organization impacts positive changes in the Greater Waterbury community. Our continual mission is to support the daily needs of families and individuals who are in dire financial distress because they have lost virtually everything they possess to a fire, flood, or similar devastating life event.”
Acts 4 Ministry is offering four levels of sponsorship opportunities for the May 10th celebratory event, following commitments by the Tomasso Group of New Britain and Bourassa Catering of Wallingford to be premier Inspirational sponsors at the $2,500 level.
Motivational sponsors at the $1,500 level receive a full page advertisement in the event program book, their logo featured on the event’s sponsors’ poster in the Grand Foyer at the event, featured positioning on Acts 4’s website and Facebook page, mention in all pre-event publicity ambitions, plus two complimentary event tickets. Influential sponsors at $1,000 receive a half-page ad in the event’s program book, company/organization listing on the sponsors’ poster at the event, featured positioning on Acts 4’s website, plus two complimentary tickets.
Beneficial sponsors at $500 receive a quarter-page advertisement in the event program book and their company/organization listing on the sponsors’ poster at the event. Friend sponsors at $250 receive company/organization listing on the sponsors’ poster at the event.
“Acts 4 Ministry is not a church,” explained Carabetta. “We are a collaborative group of a volunteer board of directors, staff members and dozens of volunteers who desire to share God’s love by meeting the comforting physical needs of others. We achieve this goal daily on many levels by collecting and distributing, free-of-charge to recipients, clothing, and housewares plus a free furniture distribution program.
Acts 4 Ministry, Inc. strives to partner with churches, social service agencies, and public schools to help identify and serve people with these needs in the context of the broader community regardless of their faith, race, creed, or national origin, or their willingness to participate in religious activities.
Located at 1713 Thomaston Avenue in Waterbury, Acts 4 Ministry’s building also features a store environment where people with immediate needs can select clothing, furniture, and household items. “Individuals and families can come here to personally select clothing, dishes, glassware, furnishings, and other basic needs at no charge.
“They are provided with an atmosphere which preserves their dignity and allows them to walk around our store to select what they personally need vs. being handed clothing or furnishings they do not desire. This is a respectful environment where everyone is treated with caring support,” explained Carabetta.
Deadline for all sponsorships is April 17, 2017. Sponsorship inquiries can be directed to Acts 4 Ministry Inc. Executive Director Sarah Elizabeth Carabetta at 203-574-2287 or via email to executivedirector@acts4.org.
