Sponsorship Opportunities

We have several opportunities to become involved in our annual event, and to support St. Matthew Parish at the same time! 

Parishioner Donor Recognition Program

To commemorate our 2024 Dinner Dance event, we are creating a program booklet that will be distributed to each ticket holder. To offset some of the costs of the event and to help make this important fundraiser a huge success, we are seeking parishioner sponsorships. Sponsors will be honored and memorialized on dedicated program booklet pages.

Business Sponsorships

To commemorate our 2024 Dinner Dance event, “Broadway & All That Jazz”, we are creating a program booklet that will be distributed to each ticket holder.  To offset some of the costs of the event and to help make this important fundraiser a huge success, we are seeking sponsorships in the form of advertisements for your business. Our parish is made up of a unique and diverse group of dedicated people, with nontraditional residential boundaries as far north as New Baltimore and as far west as Franklin and Farmington Hills.

Simply put, the reach of our parish base extends far beyond traditional parish boundaries which makes for great exposure for your business!

This annual event also attracts additional family and friends of our parishioners. The final product will be professionally printed in full color on high quality glossy paper and saddle-stitched into a 8.5” x 5.5” booklet. We can create your ad for you or you can submit camera ready artwork to us directly at admin@stmatthewdetroit.com.

All sponsorships include complimentary advertising on our website for one year!
