Center Stage provides the community with free, fun, educational, family events throughout the year. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization committed to helping make Keene and the surrounding towns a great place to live. Through the generous help of community minded businesses and individuals, we are able to bring the community alive with Art Walk, Tree Lighting and, of course, our World Record Event – Pumpkin Festival.

We'd like to have you join us as a sponsor and join in the fun. There are many ways you may be able to help Center Stage and give to the community as well. Here are just a few:

• Sponsorship: We rely solely on the generous donations of businesses and individuals to fund our events. Our sponsorship tier system is detailed below and will provide you with some of the benefits of being a sponsor, we hope there is a tier right for you.

• Volunteer Groups: Many companies have found it beneficial to loan us a group of employees to help with an event. Working as a group outside of the workplace helps to build employee relations, morale, and communication. We are always in need of volunteers.

• In-Kind Support : We have many needs throughout the year for everything, from one-time equipment use to photocopiying, sign making, advertising, and a lot more! Can you or your company help by providing us with a service or materials? Please call if you think there is a way you can help.

Many hands make light work and by working together,w e can assure Keene and the Monadnock Region remain a thriving and vital place for all of us to live. With your help, we hope to do our part.

Please consider becoming a sponsor of Center Stage today.
