2027 Special Events Sponsorship Opportunities

Hello to our valued business partners and supporters,
 
For nearly 69 years, The Guidance Center has been a source of hope, healing and opportunity for children and families throughout our community. Thanks to the generosity of partners like you, we continue to provide essential resources, strengthen families and help children build brighter futures.
 
As we look ahead to 2027, we invite you to make a meaningful difference by sponsoring one of our signature events. Your support goes far beyond a single evening, helping ensure that children and families throughout Wayne County have access to the care, resources and opportunities they deserve.
 
Our beloved Summer Glow returns Friday, July 16, 2027, at the beautiful Grosse Ile home of longtime supporter Leo Stevenson. This Gatsby-inspired garden party will benefit our Community Resource Center in River Rouge and Nurture the Future Program, providing families with essential supplies, parenting education and support for healthy childhood development.
 
The Kids-TALK Gala, taking place September 17, 2027, at the brand-new JW Marriott Detroit Water Square, will celebrate and support the life-changing work of Kids-TALK Children’s Advocacy Center. As Wayne County’s only accredited children’s advocacy center, Kids-TALK provides compassionate, coordinated care for children who have experienced abuse or trauma.
 
We are also pleased to introduce our Kids-TALK Vision & Growth Receptions, intimate gatherings at BasBlue and Kids-TALK that offer community leaders a closer look at our mission and new opportunities to support its future.
 
Whether you are a longtime supporter or a new partner, your sponsorship is an investment in the safety, well-being and future of children and families in our community. Thank you for helping The Guidance Center fulfill its mission: Nurture development. Foster resilience. Cultivate well-being.
