Underwriting and Event Sponsorships
On May 28, 2024, The Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi will commemorate the 175th anniversary of the founding of the congregation. To celebrate, we are embarking on a year-long celebration that includes a private Mass for our Sisters on May 28, 2024, an invitation-only Mass on June 23, 2024, at the Basilica of St. Josaphat, Milwaukee, and private reception afterwards at the convent, and participation in this year's Doors Open Milwaukee.
We invite local and national companies, foundations, and individuals to help us celebrate this year by becoming a sponsor of our many celebrations during this milestone year.
Six sponsorship levels are available. Every sponsor will be invited to join our Leadership Team at the June 23, 2024 Mass and reception, as well as a Sponsors Mass and reception in fall 2024. Sponsors will be promoted throughout the year in our print and digital media. Additional benefits are available per sponsorship level.
