Funds raised help support six mentoring programs by covering staffing, training, and program costs, ensuring children have access to consistent, high-quality mentors throughout the year.

Sponsorships are structured support options ranging from $500 to $5,000 and include both event-based sponsorships that involve attending the Martini Masquerade and monetary sponsorships designed for businesses seeking a larger, predefined presence at the event.

Donations are more flexible and may include monetary gifts, silent auction baskets, or individual items. All donation types receive recognition, with the format and placement aligned to the type of contribution.

The “no work” basket option requires a minimum contribution of $200. Fully assembled baskets, including no work baskets, are displayed as standalone packages and are not combined with other donations.

Individual items, gift cards, or single products are welcome and may be featured on their own or combined with complementary items to create curated baskets, depending on the donation.

No. The silent auction will be published approximately one week before the event, and supporters do not need to be present to bid. Winning bidders who are not in attendance can pick up their items at the Companions for Children office the week following the event. To stay up to date when the auction goes live, we encourage supporters to follow Companions for Children on Facebook.
