Join Macaroni KID and Spread the Light this Holiday Season

In light of recent events, I want to do something special for our community: Spread the Light. There are so many people and businesses that are down and out due to Hurricane Ian, and everyone needs a bit of cheer to keep them pushing through the chaos.

There are two ways to spread the light: be the source that emits light or be a mirror to reflect the light. If you partner with Macaroni KID Fort Myers - Fort Myers Beach this holiday season, you can do both!

Macaroni KID Fort Myers - Fort Myers Beach is looking for sponsors to help "spread the light" to others in our community. Together, we can Spread Light, Joy, and Kindness to local families via special gifts and start a Pay It Forward movement. Each family that receives a Spread the Light Gift will be encouraged to "Spread the Light" for at least 1-2 more families … think of the joy we can spread throughout Fort Myers - Fort Myers Beach with our Spread the Light effect!

INTERESTED IN SPONSORING SPREAD THE LIGHT GIFTS?

Sponsorship fees will cover the cost of supplies and delivery of the completed gifts. Sponsors will be listed in a featured article, social media posts, and a special flyer left in each gift. Sponsors also have the option to add their own promotional items or coupons to the gifts.

WHAT IS SPREAD THE LIGHT?

Spread the Light is a way for Macaroni KID Fort Myers - Fort Myers Beach and Community Sponsors to spread some Holiday cheer. Between 10/27/22 - 11/26/22, 150 families in the Fort Myers - Fort Myers Beach area will be able to sign up to receive a Spread the Light Gift. If we get an abundance of sponsors/donations, then we would love to open additional registration spots to those in need.

Each Spread the Light recipient will then be tasked to Spread the Light to TWO (2) more families.

HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?

As a sponsor, your role is pivotal as a source of light and mirror for the Spread the Light Effect. Your sponsorship fee is used to fund the gifts, the items and the flyers that go into each gift, and the delivery of the gifts.
