Dear Friend,

The Junior League of Rhode Island, Inc. (JLRI) will hold its 5th Annual Winter Sparkle tasting event on February 11, 2017 at the Governor Henry Lippitt House Museum in Providence. It promises to be a great evening featuring food and beverage tastings from many of Rhode Island’s premier restaurants, caterers, winemakers, and spirit distributors. This signature event is our highest profile fundraiser of the year. We hope that you will consider participating in our event by serving as a vendor, sponsor, or donating a raffle or other needed item.

Founded in 1921, the JLRI is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Our purpose is exclusively educational and charitable. JLRI has been a volunteer powerhouse in the State of Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts since 1921. JLRI is a proven training ground for women to become community and civic leaders—learning how to effectively manage a nonprofit organization, fundraise and develop meaningful community service programs. Over the past 95 years, more than 250 nonprofit organizations have benefited from collaboration with The Junior League of Rhode Island. JLRI members have contributed more than 1 million hours of volunteer service and over 1.5 million in fundraising dollars. These volunteer hours and dollars have a combined present day value of $25 million in direct services to women and children in difficult circumstances

Through your participation in Winter Sparkle, you simultaneously demonstrate your commitment to the Rhode Island community and expose your brand to a multitude of new consumers. Proceeds from the event will directly benefit JLRI’s extraordinary service programs and mission. Our members devote more than 6000 volunteer hours each year to our community initiatives, which currently focus on impacting and empowering the lives of young adults aging out of the Foster Care System. With your help, the JLRI can continue to support this much needed effort.

Benefits to supporting the Junior League of Rhode Island, Inc. through this event include: (1) corporate name recognition on the JLRI website and JLRI communications to members; (2) recognition in the event program; and (3) recognition in social media outlets including Facebook and Twitter. By getting involved, you’ll gain exposure to the JLRI community.

We hope that you will consider a partnership with us at any level. Benefits and forms for sponsorship, advertising and auction item donations are enclosed. We also hope you will attend Winter Sparkle as our esteemed guest.
