Donation Opportunities

SGHY invites you to sponsor a program of special interest to you; adopt a sponsorshipsschool; or become a general, unrestricted SGHY Patron.

Sophie Gerson Healthy Youth offers a variety of sponsorships that can satisfy your funding priorities in focus and investment.

Our sponsorships cover three categories:

Program Sponsorships
School Sponsorships
General Sponsorships

With any sponsorship, we will prominently associate your organization’s name with the area you have designated. We would also include your name and your link or web address on our website, with more than 54,000 visitors and more than 142,900 pages read per year.  You will be recognized on our Facebook page and in all of our 4,600 plus print and online communications, throughout the year.

Your sponsorship is, in fact, a partnership and we would welcome you to designate a representative to serve on our Advisory Board. You can observe our work at tournaments, dance performances, and other special events by students. You can visit our programs and schools, meet and speak with our students and faculty. We would welcome your observations, input, and ideas about the program.

Program Sponsorship Packages

 

Please see below for a list of current SGHY programs, the number of participating schools in each program, and the programs approximate (rounded) cost. You may sponsor a particular program not already sponsored for the cost listed or co-sponsor the program for half that amount. If you would like to explore one or more possible sponsorships or co-sponsorships we would happily provide further details about the program, answer any questions, and arrange for you to observe programs in action. Please contact Alan at alanjgerson@gmail.com  or 917-836-3272.

School Sponsorships

Sophie Gerson Healthy Youth thanks THE NYC CITY COUNCIL, SPEAKER ADRIENNE ADAMS; COUNCIL MEMBERS CHRISTOPHER MARTE, ERIC BOTTCHER, CARLINA RIVERA, JULIE MENIN, KEITH POWERS, for their support of SGHY programs at our current five schools.

We still have interested schools on a wait list. These Title One schools serve children from very low income households, including children living in homeless shelters. Their children yearn for the programs and activities SGHY provides, but their families cannot afford them. 

Please consider adopting one of these schools . Your donation of $50,000 will allow SGHY to bring programming to a new school. We will complement your donation with matching or partially matching public and private sector support. With your SGHY school sponsorship you will become a cherished part of the school community.

If you would like to explore one or more possible school sponsorships,  we would happily provide further details about the schools, answer any questions, and arrange for you to visit prospective schools. Please contact Alan at alanjgerson@gmail.com  or 917-836-3272.
