Affirmations Community Center is celebrating 35 years of providing a welcoming space where people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, self-expressions, and cultures can find support. Creating a space where people feel safe and accepted is key to learning, growth, and community building.
Without the support of businesses like your own, reaching 35 years would not have been possible.
Affirmations has a growing network of people, not only in the Metro Detroit area but throughout the state of Michigan and beyond. From the 45,000 people in our center every year to the 8,000 monthly visitors to our website to the over 20,000 followers on social media, your sponsorship dollars will be visible to all Affirmations’ supporters and clients.
As your company supports our mission, we want to help create the brand awareness you want and deserve through our channels. We aim to have sponsorship levels for every budget size.
For questions about sponsorships, please contact Annie Martin, Director of Development via email at amartin@goaffirmations.org or by phone– 248-629-6963
