How do I sponsor an event?

First, take a look at our upcoming events available for sponsorship. Once you know which event you want to sponsor, all you have to do is fill out and return the sponsor pledge form to CAREERS. Each event has different sponsorship opportunities and a different sponsor pledge form - make sure you fill out the form for your desired event.

Do I get a charitable receipt for sponsorship?

No, Canada Revenue Agency rules do not allow a charitable receipt to be issued for sponsorship. You will receive a regular receipt.

How often do I submit a sponsor pledge form?

You must submit a new sponsor pledge form for each event you wish to sponsor each year of the event. For example, if you wish to sponsor the golf tournament in 2012 and 2013, you must submit a sponsor pledge form each year.

Some sponsorship levels may include first right of refusal for the following year. You must still complete a sponsor pledge form if you decide to sponsor again.
