Collaboration – that is the key to any great partnership. We value your participation and want to ensure First Night Alexandria is the right investment for your company.

Our sponsorships offer community visibility via print, web and social media. Premium level sponsors are invited to participate in our kick-off and recognition events. Your employees can get involved too, as part of our volunteer program.

Your contribution will help us meet our goal of $75,000 in business support which is needed to ensure quality programming for families and singles in a safe setting. The balance of the budget comes from grants from the City of Alexandria and the sale of admission badges.
