 We are looking for sponsors for our Annual Dinner costs and to sponsor our keynote speaker! Providing an entertaining evening for our many supporters takes lots of time and resources; in order to raise significant funds for our mission, we rely heavily on sponsors to offset the costs that come with putting the event together, such as venue, food, drink, music, and other items. Whether you can attend or not, please consider a contribution to NCCT. Your support is greatly appreciated!
