LET'S BRING OUT THE BEST IN EACH OTHER ,

1 in 10 Canadians has a disability or a form of special needs.

We are therefore all connected to someone who has a disability and are
aware of the isolation and limited opportunities many of them experience.

Friendship Circle encourages

inclusion and friendship for
children, teens, and young adults
with special needs, giving them the opportunity to
become contributing members of our community.
Sponsoring the
Walk4Frienship is
an investment in community
you can count on.
A corporate partnership with the Friendship Circle will
allow you to leverage our marketing materials and
social media platforms, reaching thousands of
interested, active and local consumers eager to support
local companies that give back to the community. We
will work together to create a unique campaign that will
help generate positive awareness, increase sales and
brand loyalty.

Our marketing campaigns vary in their scope and

design, but the end result will always be win-win: Your
company reaches its target market and the Friendship
Circle secures funding for the young people with
special needs whom it serves.
Why you should partner with
Friendship Circle
Friendship Circle exists to fight isolation and break stigmas by building an
inclusive community through something as pure as friendship. The idea is
simple yet revolutionary: introduce a teen volunteer to a child with special
needs and watch a friendship grow. Through our diverse range of programs,
our special friends explore their talents and abilities, gain confidence, and
experience pure friendship sometimes for the very first time.

By partnering with us you will:

1. Be a Community Champion
Having a presence as a Friendship Circle corporate sponsor positions you
and your business as a friend and supporter of individuals with special needs
and a champion of inclusion. You can feel good about your investment
because healthy, happy, inclusive communities are also good for business.

2. Reach Your Target Market

Friendship Circle events attract the most influential members of our local
community – including top business leaders, professionals, and
philanthropists; giving you a premier venue for networking and the perfect
opportunity to reach your valued demographic.

3. Market Your Business cost effectively

We all know how costly it can be to market your business. A Friendship Circle
sponsorship will yield a high return on your investment while maximizing
your impact.
