Sponsors

As a sponsor of KiteFlite 2019, you can get your brand in front of hundreds of local families, show your support for the autism community, and help AutismUp during a critical time in our journey. There are multiple sponsorship levels to choose from. Please see the enclosed sponsorship form for detailed benefits associated with each sponsor level. New this year, Soarin’ Sponsors will be part of our fundraising challenge as we will encourage donors to match your pledge of support.

Businesses

KiteFlite is an AUsome team building and community service exercise! Sign up as a KiteFlite team to give employee morale a boost while showing support for families living with autism. Together, you can take on local competitors in a race to raise the most funds (challenging them to go #GoFlyaKite), then celebrate with a fun day in the sun. KiteFlite is an opportunity for team-building, social media fodder, and new positive connections between your business and the community.
