SPONSOR + SUPPORT

Dear Community & Friends,

We are excited to invite you to our 8th Annual Fundraising Gala, 5-6-7-80s on April 27th, 2025 at

Tenk, located in the West Bank of the Flats. The ELEVĀTED Gala is a one of a kind immersive night

celebrating our community investment in the artistic, physical, & personal development of our youth.

At ELEVĀTED Dance Headquarters (501c3) our mission is to elevate dancers’ skills and ability to

pursue dance as a career and foster a better life by providing an elite dance experience accessible for all. As a non-profit we educate our community in the art of dance, theatre, and entertainment. This year we are bringing the 80s back to life with a night of throwback vibes filled with dinner, dancing, & an experience to remember!

We are excited for our teams to reach the next level at these National Competitions and have the

opportunity to win prize money, additional scholarships, and further opportunities in their dance

careers. We invite our community to support in these efforts and help us continue to bring these

opportunities to Cleveland dancers! Please consider one of our sponsorship packages listed below.

Thank you, we look forward to seeing you on April 27th!
