Sponsorship Opportunites
Night at BARN
Our Annual Night at BARN fundraising gala is a one-of-a-kind experience. Guests are immersed in an atmosphere alive with energy and creativity as they explore BARN’s maker studios and participate in various artistic projects along the way. The evening features a curated selection of beverages, appetizers, and a seated dinner, leading into the excitement of a live auction and paddle call. Your support not only ensures the success of this event but also directly contributes to the growth and inspiration of our vibrant, creative community.
Teen Nights
BARN offers a free program for teens each month to come together for a fun evening of learning and social time. Teenagers from Bainbridge Island and nearby communities enjoy free pizza and snacks as well as craft workshops with experienced instructors. It has proved to be a highlight of the school year for many local teens, and a comfortable place for a diverse group of young people to explore their creativity and make new friends. Our costs to run the program are over $25,000 in staff time, instructor pay, art supplies, food, and marketing. With your support, we can continue to offer this valuable program at no cost to local teens.
Sponsorship supports Teen Nights for one school year.
