The Austin Area Alumane chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha hosts an annual luncheon to raise money for breast cancer research and support. The Celebration of Life honors survivors as models in a fashion show. In order to make as much money as possible for this worthy cause, we are seeking Sponsors and in-kind donations.

Audience

Attendees of the Celebration of Life include 200 involved, educated women from around Austin, coming from areas such as Westlake, Steiner Ranch and Northwest Hills with above average incomes, most in the top 1% of Austin. Generally the audience is mature with children who are of marrying age. This audience also has the tendency to plan large parties in their own homes and would seek design/catering assistance. Many of the women have a strong affinity for shopping at Julian Gold, our fashion show sponsor. Most of the audience has some tie to breast cancer (survivor or family of someone affected) and tend to purchase items that have supported breast cancer causes in the past.

In-kind Sponsors

In-kind sponsors receive the same corporate sponsorship level as retail amount of donation with the exception of tickets to the event.
