Support DRAA

Business Alliance for the Arts

 

 

The Diablo Regional Arts Association’s Business Alliance for the Arts Program provides businesses of all sizes the opportunity to support the arts in our region, meet their business and philanthropic goals, and network with their peers. Memberships range from $1,500 to $100,000. Customized programs are created for each business partner, allowing them to develop mutually beneficial and enduring partnerships with DRAA and with the arts community.

Companies like Chevron, Target, Tiffany & Co., McGuire Harley-Davidson, WaMu, PMI and many others have already made a difference in the community through their partnership with DRAA. Consider following their lead and sponsoring a performance series at the Lesher Center for the Arts targeted toward families, children or young professionals. Sponsor a business mixer, or bring your clients and employees to the Center for a special event. For more information and to become a member of the Business Alliance for the Arts, please contact Peggy White at 925.295.1457 or pwhite@draa.org.

Partnering with the Diablo Regional Arts Association is all about what works for your business. We offer the following sponsorship opportunities and are always happy to work with you to meet your specific goals.

Events

Fundraising events are held by DRAA throughout the year to engage arts patrons in the celebration of the arts in our region. Your sponsorship comes with a myriad of opportunities to communicate to a prime target market. Whether your goal is to build brand awareness and loyalty, recruit a pool of high- quality prospects, or enhance your corporate image, a DRAA event sponsorship can meet your needs. Event sponsorship opportunities include:

• On Broadway: Several levels of sponsorship, ranging from $1,500 to $25,000 are available for On Broadway, DRAA’s annual gala fundraiser. Each level includes a generous package of benefits. Gain visibility for your company while attending the event of the year!
• Gallery or Theatre Party: Your company has the opportunity to sponsor a party celebrating the fantastic shows and exhibits at the Lesher Center for the Arts and Bedford Gallery. This is a great way to gain visibility for your company, while entertaining clients and employees.

Outreach

An important component to DRAA’s mission is bringing the arts to underprivileged individuals in Contra Costa County, including students and frail seniors. Outreach sponsorship opportunities include:

• Arts Access: Arts Access is DRAA’s outreach program, targeting low- income students, frail seniors and others who may not normally have access to the Lesher Center and its many productions. Sponsor one classroom of students for a production at the Center or create a suite of Arts Access productions.
• Targeted Programming: DRAA offers your company options to create a specialized suite of productions targeting specific audiences including: students, families, the business community, Lesher Center patrons and young professionals.

Productions

A Production Sponsorship offers maximum exposure to Lesher Center audiences. Center REPertory Company and the Bedford Gallery - the Lesher Center resident artistic companies - offer a variety of professional, high-quality productions and exhibits. Choose to sponsor an individual show or an entire production season. Your sponsorship will provide your company with wide visibility and priceless recognition as a supporter of the arts.

Marketing

As a dynamic, highly respected and growing nonprofit organization, DRAA is well positioned to provide you access to an affluent and desirable audience demographic. We have several ongoing marketing sponsorship opportunities including:

• Lesher Center for the Arts Season Brochure: This is your chance to get in front of a prime audience with an advertisement in our season brochure. The brochure is mailed to 40,000+ local residents and is a cornerstone piece in the Lesher Center lobbies, reaching 300,000+ patrons throughout the season.
• DRAA or Lesher Center Website: Your company will receive recognition as a tech-saavy supporter of the arts by sponsoring either the www.draa.org or www.lesherartscenter.org websites, including logo placement and a link on the site.
