WHY SPONSOR?

Jorge and Laura understand first hand the severity and frequency of surgeries children with Craniosynostosis have to endure. A partnership with the Jorge Posada Foundation directly helps these children and their families who are in need. The Heroes For Hope Gala allows underwriters and sponsors such as companies, organizations, and individuals, to forge new relationships with these families, market their products, and strengthen their corporate reputation and image, side by side with one of the most talented athletes in the world. Through a partnership with the Jorge Posada Foundation, not only do partners join New York Yankees All-Star Catcher, in a noble cause, but they also reach:

• Hundreds of children affected by craniofacial conditions, their parents, siblings and family members
• Over 600 high-profile Heroes for Hope Gala attendees
• U.S. and international celebrities and athletes who support Jorge, Laura, and their Foundation and will donate their time to attend the event or perform as part of the entertainment
• Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers who listen to the radio, watch television, read the newspapers

You can sponsor the Heroes for Hope Gala starting at $7,500 to $100,000. The Event includes an online, live, and silent auction of unique items and experiences such as vacation packages, sports memorabilia, jewelry, and collectible art. In past years, the auction has raised over $150,000 and was highlighted by items such as a custom built Yankees chopper, designed and created by Orange County Choppers; a $25,000 “Unique Addition” vehicle customization donated by Unique Autosports; a FANtastic Yankees Package; and a Johnnie Walker limited edition cask strength blend of the rarest whiskeys, released to celebrate the 200th birthday of Johnny Walker. All sponsors and auction donors are listed in the program book.
