Funding Opportunities:

 

We welcome your participation in our Autism COOKS! event on Thursday, April 23rd 2026. Your funding support helps us cover all event costs and ensures that money generated from ticket sales and during the event goes directly to our non-profit organization. Whether you participate as a Gold Sponsor or a Title Sponsor, your organization receives a comprehensive benefits and recognition package that includes tickets to the event on April 23rd. It is important to all of us that you get a first-hand look at where your money is going.

In-kind Support Opportunities: If your organization would prefer to help underwrite a particular part of the evening or can provide products or services to help us defray costs, please contact us directly to discuss the available options. The scope of the Autism COOKS! Celebrity Chef Gala event is enormous, and in addition to managing food, beverage and audio visual costs, we work hard to balance our financial accountability with the social benefits and entertainment value of the event. If an in-kind sponsorship is a better fit for your organization, or if you would like to partner with us to support an element of the evening tailored to your organization’s goals, product offerings, or brand, please email Deb Stone,  to discuss further dstone@popearth.org

 

Silent Auction Donation: A Silent Auction Donation is a great complement or alternative to Funding and In-Kind Sponsorship. This is a great opportunity to raise needed funds for Pop.Earth, gain positive recognition for your organization and your product offerings, and offer great entertainment value for our guests. Even better, someone goes home with something they absolutely love. Artwork, sports and film memorabilia, electronics, gift cards, one-of-a-kinds, the eclectic, the creative—the possibilities are endless. Your organization’s participation in our Silent Auction will add to a spectacular evening of fun and excitement.
