Sponsorship Opportunities
Sponsors join some of the UCSS team and board members for a special meet and greet at 6:00.
Our Gala is more than an event, it is a powerful gathering of leaders, advocates, and philanthropists united around one purpose: bringing lasting hope to those we serve in Uganda. Corporate and individual sponsors play a vital role in making this mission possible.
We invite you to partner with us at one of the following levels and help accelerate transformational impact.
Volunteer
An unforgettable evening doesn’t happen without an incredible team behind the scenes and we would love for you to be part of it.
From guest check-in and table hosting to event logistics, Gala volunteers play a vital role in creating a warm, seamless, and inspiring experience for every attendee. Your time and talents directly help advance the mission and ensure the night is a success.
Join us in bringing this evening to life and in shining hope even further.
Be a Table Host
One of the most meaningful ways to support the Gala is by serving as a Table Host.
Table Hosts help fill the room with purpose-driven guests who care about the mission. By inviting friends, colleagues, and community members to join your table, you create space for new connections, deeper engagement, and greater impact.
Hosting a table is more than filling seats. It’s extending an invitation into something meaningful. It’s helping others experience the power of generosity firsthand.
