TABLES & SPONSORSHIPS

Every year, CAIR-Chicago prides itself in the community support it receives from businesses and organizations across Chicagoland. We truly value the investment that our sponsors make and strive to live up to, and even surpass, expectations. 

Whatever the size of your business/organization, sponsoring our annual banquet is an effective way to get brand exposure AND support a great cause. 

In today's markets, followers expect brands to not only represent their values, but live them out in the community. 

Last year, we had 50 sponsors who helped us celebrate another year of serving the Chicagoland Community. With over 1,200 people expected to attend our Annual Banquet on February 8th, sponsoring CAIR-Chicago not only provides an opportunity for excellent outreach, but to support an organization dedicated to defending civil rights, fighting bigotry and promoting tolerance. 

To sponsor at the Platinum, Gold , Silver, or Bronze levels, or if you have questions, please email Deputy Director Sufyan Sohel at ssohel@cair.com. Check out the costs and perks of each of our packages HERE.
