Make an investment in inclusive education by sponsoring the 2026 Haring Center Auction! 

Event sponsorship ensures that we raise essential funding to keep our programs strong, so the Haring Center can continue to develop and widely disseminate the most cutting-edge practices in inclusive education.

Sponsorship opportunities at several levels are available for businesses, families, individuals, foundations, and other groups - anyone can help!

In addition to making a difference for the Haring Center, event sponsorship has many great benefits, including premium seating in the auction tent, upgraded beverage service during the live auction, and recognition on printed auction materials (invitations, catalog, etc.)!
