Sponsorship Opportunities

A Letter from Our Board Lead

May 1, 2026
Dear Community Partners,
On behalf of Z Advocacy NFP, I am writing to invite your business or organization to become a sponsor of the 2nd Annual Crystal Lake Disability Pride Event, taking place on July 25, 2026 at McHenry County College.
This event is a celebration of the beauty, diversity, and lived experiences of people with disabilities. It brings together hundreds of community members, families, advocates, and allies for a day of live entertainment, community vendors, and essential resources — all in a fully accessible environment.
Your tax-deductible contribution directly supports the long-term success of the disability pride movement in Crystal Lake and McHenry County. Sponsorship funds help us provide ASL interpreters, sensory-friendly quiet zones, accessible transportation support, event materials, and outreach to underserved disability communities.
Together, we can build a lasting tradition that uplifts and celebrates the disability community for years to come. I invite you to review the sponsorship packages below and reach out to us with any questions.
With gratitude,
Sara Zielinski
Board Lead, Z Advocacy NFP
