Souvenir Program Advertising

Increase your organization's visibility with CWAH guests, community partners, supporters, families, and civic leaders by placing a company, organization, or family message in the official Circle of Support Souvenir Program Booklet.

Become an Annual Circle Partner

A one-time sponsorship helps make the Circle of Support gala possible. A recurring sponsorship helps make long-term community impact possible.

CWAH invites corporations, foundations, families, civic organizations, and community partners to select any sponsorship level as an annual recurring commitment or work with us to develop a customized multi-year partnership.

Sustain Programs

Reliable annual support helps CWAH plan programs, workshops, family events, educational enrichment, and supportive services with greater confidence and consistency.

Deepen Visibility

Recurring partners can receive consistent year-round recognition through CWAH communications, community engagement opportunities, and annual event materials.

Build a Legacy

Multi-year support demonstrates a lasting commitment to family stability, youth development, educational opportunity, and community progress throughout St. Louis.

Ways to Commit

Annual Recurring Sponsor
Select any sponsorship level and renew annually, helping sustain CWAH's programs beyond the annual Circle of Support event.

Multi-Year Circle Partner
Commit to a two- or three-year sponsorship and receive consistent recognition throughout the partnership period.

Custom Corporate Partnership
Create a tailored partnership combining event sponsorship, souvenir program advertising, employee engagement, volunteer opportunities, and year-round organizational visibility.

Your Partnership Makes an Impact

When you sponsor the Circle of Support, you are doing more than supporting an annual event. You are investing in families, youth, education, health, economic opportunity, and the future of the St. Louis community.

CWAH is grateful for every business, foundation, family, and community partner that chooses to stand in our Circle of Support.
