CHILDREN’S MUSEUM & THEATRE OF MAINE

2018 Annual Auction

 

Sponsorship Opportunities

The Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine’s 2018 Annual Auction will be held on Friday, May 18th at the events center at Thompson’s Point – the hottest new destination in Portland and the site of our event last year.  Our 2017 Auction was our most successful event to date, welcoming over 480 guests and raising nearly $120,000 in support of our exhibits, operations, programs and admission scholarships.

The Annual Auction is our largest and most important fundraising event of the year and it would not be possible without the support of generous corporate sponsors. Sponsorships help defray production costs and build awareness of the Museum & Theatre in the Portland business community.

The funds we raise on Auction night support the highest quality educational and cultural programs, offered to children and families year-round at the Museum. At last year’s event we were thrilled to raise over $16,000 supporting our scholarship membership program which provides free memberships to local families in need.

Please consider joining us as a sponsor and get your name and message out to our 400+ tastemakers who support local businesses!
