Corporate Sponsorships

Become a Corporate Sponsor

Funding for Foundation grants is raised primarily at our annual LAUNCH fundraiser held on the Friday of San Diego Gay Pride weekend every year. This signature event features food and drink from San Diego’s finest restaurants, a large silent auction area, a VIP room, a grand entrance, and more. It is attended by more than 800 guests who are supportive of our work. For example in past years the guests included the District Attorney, city councilmen, Chair of the Airport Authority, several judges, and more.

Our board underwrites 100% of the expenses of the Foundation and LAUNCH event costs not covered by our corporate sponsors and individual underwriters in our Host Circle.

The Foundation is committed to including our corporate community as an integral part of our charitable work. We believe that corporate philanthropy should be rewarded with opportunities for our unique demographic to learn more about our sponsors and their business offerings. We welcome an open dialogue about ways to make supporting the Rob Benzon Dan Ferbal Foundation beneficial to our corporate sponsors.
