Sponsorship Opportunities
Local businesses can support our mission by sponsoring The Center’s Annual Benefit Cook-Off, held each spring at the First Church of God Banquet Hall in Columbia City, IN. Drawing over 450 community members, this event is our sole fundraising event and provides a critical opportunity to raise community awareness and share impactful stories. Sponsorships, available at various levels to fit any budget, contribute approximately 20% of our annual budget, helping us empower youth. To be recognized at the next event, sponsorships must be received in the calendar year before the Cook-Off. Your support is essential for giving our youth the best chance to thrive. For more information, please email Director of Development, Jake Johnson.
Volunteer
Discover a meaningful volunteer role at The Center, where your passion for sports, arts, mentoring, or supporting with homework and meals can make a lasting impact. Join our team of over 50 dedicated volunteers who empower youth. Your commitment not only supports our programs but also demonstrates to local youth that they are valued. Whether you can spare one hour a week or commit to multi-day involvement, we welcome volunteers of all schedules to contribute in ways that suit them best, positively influencing our community and the youth we serve.
