Sponsor an Event
for the Boys & Girls Club of Fond du Lac
Put Your Business Behind Great Futures
Every year, the Boys & Girls Club of Fond du Lac hosts signature events that raise the funds and the spirits that keep our programs running. When you become a sponsor, you're not just backing a great event. You're directly funding the summer learning, academic support, and family programs that help local kids thrive.
Why Sponsor a Club Event?
- Your dollars go straight to youth. Event proceeds fund real programs: Summer learning for 500+ youth, academic support, and family-strengthening events reaching thousands of people each year.
- Visible community leadership. Sponsors are recognized in front of hundreds of attendees, business peers, and community leaders as champions for local youth.
- Connection and camaraderie. These events put your team shoulder-to-shoulder with Club members and fellow businesses in ways that build relationships and goodwill.
- A proven track record. Our events raise real money: Reach for the Stars alone brought in over $185,000 in 2026, because the community trusts the Club to deliver impact.
Whatever your budget or goals, there's a sponsorship that fits. Here are the events you can support.
Reach for the Stars Dinner & Auction
Every February · The Club's largest fundraiser benefiting summer programs
Our signature event: a dinner, silent and online auctions, a cash raffle, inspiring words from our Youth of the Year, and standout entertainment. Presented each year by Grande Cheese and Mercury Marine, Reach for the Stars is the single largest fundraising event in our organization's history, raising over $185,000 in 2026 to directly support the 10-week summer learning programs that serve more than 500 youth. A portion of proceeds funds "Sponsor a Child" summer scholarships, ensuring every kid has access to our programs.
Your sponsorship helps send local kids to a summer full of learning, fun, and memories that last a lifetime.
Spell for Great Futures
Summer · A team spelling bee benefiting academic programs
Our most playful event: business and community leaders are randomly teamed up with Club members to compete in a themed team spelling bee, where past years have been Harry Potter and Minecraft. Presented by Society Insurance, the 2026 event raised over $46,000, funded entirely through sponsorships, to directly support the Club's academic programs. It's a fun, family-friendly event that provides your team with the opportunity to engage directly with the kids you're helping. Your team can connect with Club members and experience the impact firsthand, while making memories.
Your sponsorship helps fund the year-round academic programs that keep Club members on track and learning.
Corporate Challenge in partnership with Fond du Lac Family YMCA
Late August through fall · A 10-week friendly competition among area businesses
A season-long showdown of fun, competition, and camaraderie among Fond du Lac businesses large and small, all built around promoting healthy living. Funded through sponsorships and team participation fees, the Corporate Challenge benefits the Club and YMCA’s five Family Strengthening events each year, programming that reaches nearly 700 families (over 2,000 people!) annually.
Your sponsorship helps power the family events that strengthen households across our community.
Celebrate Great Futures
Each spring · Our Annual Awards Night
Every spring, we take time to celebrate our Boys & Girls Club members, volunteers, partners and donors. Celebrate Great Futures is an inspiring awards night that showcases the Club's impact, including the announcement of our Youth of the Year. Sponsoring this event means standing behind the kids as their hard work is celebrated, alongside partners like Marian University, which has awarded the Youth of the Year a four-year scholarship since 2014. Your support helps make this celebration possible and shines a light on the young people who inspire us.
Your sponsorship helps honor and encourage the youth who embody everything the Club stands for.
