EVENT SPONSORSHIP LEVELS
These levels are available for each community or scholar event listed.
DECEMBER | PIVOTAL HOLIDAY PARTY
Spread some holiday cheer for foster youth
The holidays can be challenging for foster youth; many can’t celebrate with their parents and siblings. Every year Pivotal hosts a holiday party for our scholars to spread cheer, laughter, and joy. At this event, students celebrate with their coaches and foster youth peers – their Pivotal family.
The Pivotal Holiday Party changes location from year to year. We always find a location that is family-friendly and welcome parenting scholars to bring their own children. It’s a great way for our scholars to celebrate their accomplishments for the year and for volunteers to assist with meaningful activities that bring joy to all ages.
MAY | FOSTER CARE AWARENESS MONTH
Help raise awareness about the foster care cause in our community.
May is National Foster Care Month and our annual community event brings to light the challenges faced by young people in and from foster care and help amplify their voices by partnering with our scholars to share their experiences with the partners, donors, and supporters in our community.
At the event, we will also honor the recipient of the 2024 Elise Cutini Hope & Opportunity (ECHO) Award, which recognizes an individual or organization who has changed the odds for kids living in the foster care system. This award brings awareness to the work being done by committed change-makers in our community.
JUNE | END OF YEAR CELEBRATION
Celebrating milestones that will help scholars achieve their dreams.
At the end of each academic year, we celebrate our scholars' accomplishments with a celebration. At this event, we recognize our high school and college graduates, celebrate students who are transferring from community college to university, and recognize all our scholars for making it a step closer to their goals.
All our high school graduates are given a brand-new laptop at this event. This is especially critical as graduating seniors are typically asked to return their school-issued devices at the close of the school year. Additionally, we announce two Pivotal awards: one for academic perseverance and a second highlighting a scholar who goes above and beyond to support their community. It’s an evening of inspiration, an opportunity for the Pivotal community to celebrate our scholars, and best of all, a way for our scholars to celebrate one another’s accomplishments, big and small.
