INCREASE YOUR VISIBILITY
When you partner with Upward Transitions by sponsoring an event, your company name or your individual name and logo will be shared on social media, our website, press releases, and signage as well as invitations and flyers. Increasing your visibility as a charitable donor improves your public image, and our clients get the benefit of your generosity to help them to escape homelessness or prevent them from falling into homelessness.
Hope wins again!
Whether your meeting or event is large or small, Upward Transitions is ready to come present more information about our organization, our services, our history, and our plans for the future. We also give presentations on homelessness and poverty in Oklahoma.
We can tailor our presentation’s content, length, and focus based on the information that you need. PowerPoint presentations and/or video support can also be made available.
There is no cost for a representative from Upward Transitions to speak at your event, but the event must be within Oklahoma City or Oklahoma County, Oklahoma to qualify, unless there are special circumstances that would benefit an audience outside of our programs service area.
For more information contact Conna Dewart, Development and Public Relations Manager at (405) 232-5507 x 113 or email cdewart@upwardtransitions.org.
