NORTH CROSS SCHOOL 2018 WINTER GAL A & AUC TION CORPOR ATE SPONSOR SHIP OPPORTUNITIES

North Cross School aspires to be the finest independent school available in our area. We keep tuition costs affordable enough to attract a diverse student body who are focused on attending the colleges of their choice and pursuing the careers they desire, as we prepare them to lead and serve—in their communities, and perhaps in organizations such as yours.

North Cross School tuition is intentionally insufficient to cover the full cost of educating each student. The Development Office raises the lion’s share of the funds each year to support the gap between tuition revenues and the School’s operating costs. Our major efforts are the North Cross Annual Fund and The Winter Gala & Auction.

Important to each of these is the participation of our corporate sponsors who recognize the importance of a school like North Cross to the health of our regional economy and future workforce. Look around and you will readily see the products of a North Cross School education in corporations, professional offices, civic leadership, as entrepreneurs, and as loyal employees in our region and beyond.

There are a number of ways to support North Cross, and we’ve structured packages to meet what we think is an attractive return on your investment in our school. Your support is important to our continued mission, and we believe that our opportunities provide outstanding marketing and advertising avenues and ways to express your belief in North Cross School.

Something to consider while reviewing the ways in which to support the School. Our families are generally high income professionals and business owners. Average annual incomes exceed $150,000. Families respect the role business support plays in the School’s financial model. There are also a considerable amount of visitors to our campus for other events. Our facilities are regularly rented for team activities including practices, games, and a variety of swimming, volleyball, basketball, and pickleball tournaments. Our athletic center membership continues to grow and is currently over 700 members.

If you have other ideas for sponsorship, please know that we are always open to explore options that may better suit your goals.
