Sponsorship Opportunities

We are inviting corporate sponsors and individuals to help support the Canadian Cancer Society Interior Region by participating in the 2011 Gala of Hope. With your generous contribution, you will become a partner in the Canadian Cancer Society’s mission of eradicating cancer and enhancing the quality of life for people living with cancer.

2010 Gala of Hope sponsorship levels
Each category offers a comprehensive benefits package for those companies or individuals that provide either Cash Sponsorship or ‘Gift-in-Kind’ Sponsorship, which directly offsets budgeted items.

This is strictly a guideline. We can tailor benefits to suit your needs. Please contact the Canadian Cancer Society to discuss sponsorship opportunities at 250.762.6381 or 1.800.403.8222 or by e-mail at kmaurmann@bc.cancer.ca 

Tax Information
Tax Information from Revenue Canada
When a business gives cash or other property to a charity, it may not necessarily be making a gift to the charity. Sponsorship dollars are amounts paid to a registered charity that are not gifts because the sponsor receives something in exchange. They are usually paid to support a charity event in return for advertising or some other consideration. In this situation, the business has not made a gift to the charity and the charity cannot issue an official tax receipt. The business can usually claim the payment or the value of the merchandise as a business expense.
