Sponsorship Opportunities

Please consider supporting TAPs as a sponsor at our 21st Annual Wine and Dine Event on Saturday, April 5, 2005, at the Pekin Country Club. Wine and Dine is our largest fundraiser helping us raise almost $50,000 annually for our shelter dogs and cats. Below, you will find our sponsorship opportunities. We typically have a sold-out crowd with an attendance of 270 people the night of the event and even more exposure online and with pre-event literature.

Wine and Dine Event Sponsor – $2,500 (1 remaining)

As event sponsor, you company’s name will be promoted on all event materials as the event sponsor. This level also includes 6 tickets to the event.

Program Sponsor – $1,000 (0 available)

Our pre-dinner welcome and mission-oriented program throughout dinner is accompanied by a slideshow showcasing the work we do to save the lives of homeless animals. Proudly display your business logo here to show your support.

Silent Auction Sponsor – $250 (Multiple available)

Our Wine and Dine silent auction is a huge success every year and utilizes 2 rooms at the Pekin Country Club. It is professionally displayed in an effort to maximize profits. Your business name or logo can be proudly displayed on these tables.

Volunteer Sponsor – $100 (Multiple available)

Help us offer dinner to one of our committed volunteers who is volunteering their time at this event at no cost to them. They donate their time all year to help our animals so help us thank them by underwriting their attendance at the event.

Thank you so much for your support. We could not save the lives of 1,122 dogs and cats in 2024 without your generosity. For questions, please contact Tori Menke Executive Director, at 309-353-8277, ext. 101 or tmenke@tapsshelter.org.
