Sponsorship Opportunities
SMYAL’s Fall Brunch has grown steadily over the past few years, attracting more and more individual supporters, as well as more business sponsorships.  This year we expect at least 500 guests.  We would be thrilled to include you or your company among our Fall Brunch sponsors this year.  In appreciation of your contribution, SMYAL will promote your generosity and concern for LGBTQ youth in Fall Brunch materials, which will reach thousands of LGBT people and our allies.

Become a Table Leader
Essential to the success of the Fall Brunch, Table Leaders are responsible for buying/selling 10 tickets to the event.  Each ticket includes admission to the Silent Auction Reception as well as the seated brunch program.

There are two levels of Table Leaders:
Table Captains agree to buy/sell 10 tickets at $125 each.
Table Admirals agree to buy/sell 10 tickets at $250 each, which includes preferred seating and special recognition.

See our reply form for details on Table Leader benefits.
