Patron Contributions
Be a Patron--your dollars go straight to the kids!
The Charity Ball's Patrons are at the core of its successful grant program as the source of the majority of the funds granted annually. Patrons are corporations, individuals, and private and public foundations. Join this list of generous Patrons.
A Patron makes a contribution to children's charities of $1000 or more, and may also choose to combine that contribution with participation in our other fundraising projects benefiting children:
- A picture or line acknowledgment in the Rotogravure or an underwriting opportunity
- A Sponsorship of a Datebook Month, a page honoring a children's charity, or an underwriting opportunity. On a personal level, one can sponsor a page with a portrait of a grandchild or child.
- The Chrysanthemum Ball, through reservations to attend the Ball.
There are a variety of Patron Opportunities and levels of giving.
