Sponsors

This event wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our community partners who also believe in the Foundation’s mission. All of the Foundation board members live in the Ferndale School District and have personal ties with our sponsors. It’s because of these special relationships with business and industry that we are able to build community events to create awareness and fundraise with purpose!
