Event Sponsorship Proposal

MAKE A DIFFERENCE ...and have fun doing it. IT’S A WIN-WIN. Crisis Clinic’s Answering the Call event provides you the unique opportunity to connect with the Greater Seattle community, build brand awareness, and show your company’s support for an important cause: providing a place to call for support and resources 24/7. Sponsorships underwrite the cost of the event so all donations made that evening go directly toward supporting Crisis Clinic’s services. Sponsoring our event gives you the opportunity to showcase your business and communicate your support to 500+ prominent King County residents, business leaders, philanthropists, and government officials.

Feel good about supporting a critical community service while enjoying an unforgettable evening.

ABOUT CRISIS CLINIC Crisis Clinic has been at the heart of the community safety net for over 50 years. Today, we are a nationally recognized leader in behavioral health, crisis intervention, suicide prevention, and information and referral services. We offer telephone and online support services that provide immediate assistance to individuals and families in crisis. In 2015, we answered over 260,000 calls for help.

Our core programs include: the24Hour Crisis Line, King County 2-1-1, WA Recovery Help Line, Teen Link, WA Warm Line, and Survivors of Suicide Support Groups. The goal of our programs is to reduce distress for individuals and families who are experiencing any kind of crisis, whether someone is considering suicide or needs assistance with basic needs like food or housing. We do this by providing an empathetic and compassionate response, engaging callers in solving their problems, and connecting them to health and human service agencies for further assistance.

Answering the Call Join us for an inspiring evening celebrating our lifesaving work... Wednesday, September 28, 2016 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. Fisher Pavilion at Seattle Center

ABOUT THE EVENT Answering the Call is Crisis Clinic’s signature benefit event, held biennially at Seattle Center. The evening features a happy-hour menu of wine and appetizers, a friendly and festive atmosphere, and the chance to hear from inspiring speakers who’ve been personally impacted by your generosity. The evening is hosted by Elisa Jaffe of KOMO News Radio and will highlight our Teen Link program, which celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2016. We’ll also hear from Cindy Silveria, a Crisis Line caller and suicideattempt survivor and Katherine Switz, co-founder of the Many Minds Collaborative. It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn more about how, together, we’re Answering the Call from our neighbors in need!
