Dear City Council Members of Cathedral City,
On behalf of the Autism Society Inland Empire, I want to extend our heartfelt appreciation for the continued partnership with Cathedral City. Your generous support has been invaluable in helping us create a more inclusive and supportive community for individuals with Autism and intellectual/developmental disabilities (IDD/DD).
We are excited to share that we're planning our (Free) 3rd Annual Color the Spectrum Autism Art Festival on Sunday, April 6th to celebrate Autism Awareness and Acceptance. This special event will highlight and celebrate the talents of youth and adult artists on the spectrum, featuring a marketplace for entrepreneurs within the Autism and IDD community to showcase and sell their work. Families can also enjoy engaging activities such as arts and crafts, music and performances, resource fair, and collaborative live Mural.
In light of our shared commitment to fostering an inclusive community, we respectfully request an in-kind sponsorship in the form of a venue fee waiver to host this important event for the second year in a row, at the Cathedral City Community Amphitheatre. We would be honored to recognize your generous support through:
• Branded signage placed prominently at the event.
• Acknowledgment during event announcements at the event. • Social media recognition across our platforms (27k reach) • Special Plaque commemorating your Sponsorship.
• Opportunities to engage directly with attendees during the event via a Resource Booth *(Optional).
Thank you for your consideration of this request. We are truly grateful for all you do to help us build a stronger, more inclusive community.
Warm regards,
Juanita Hernandez
