Be a Sponsor - iCelebrate Kids

Saturday, October 24, 2026
Linn County Expo Center

Thanks to our sponsors!

We couldn’t make such a big impact for kids without the generous support of our community sponsors. Because our sponsors have partnered with us, we can offer classroom grants to teachers, enrichment opportunities to kids and scholarships to graduating seniors.

The iCelebrate Kids Benefit Gala is a dinner/auction to support the activities and programs of the Albany Public Schools Foundation.
The evening includes a catered dinner, silent and live auctions, the famous Dessert Dash, and a wine pull!

In-Kind Sponsors

Contact us to arrange details

In-Kind sponsors donate their time, services, and/or products to us at no charge. We are extremely grateful for these sponsors, and we can’t run our events without them!

In-Kind sponsors will be traded for the sponsorship level approximately equal to the value of their donation. In-Kind sponsors will receive most benefits that a paying sponsor would, including all advertising.

However, they will not receive any seats or drink tickets to iCelebrate.

Please note In-Kind sponsorships are only available for Table, Red Apple, Green Apple and Big Apple Sponsorships. In-Kind sponsorships do not apply to auction item donations.

Donate a Live or Silent Auction Item for iCelebrate!

Our auctions are a huge part of iCelebrate, and we need the help of our community to put together unique and interesting auction item packages that our attendees will want to bid on.

Live items:

Generally we consider a live auction item to be valued at a minimum of $1,000. These are typically experiences, vacations, large golf packages, services, jewelry, and other large or valuable items such as outdoor furniture. There are many possibilities!

  • Businesses who donate an item or service for our live auction will have their logo displayed on our live auction poster boards. Your name will also be in our auction program.
  • We will often combine separate larger donated items to create one live item package.
    • Example: In the past, this has been done with a BBQ Grill from a hardware store, and a “BBQ Grill Box” of fresh meat from a butcher, along with some additional accessories. Each of these items were donated from different people and were all credited as donors.

Silent Auction Items:

The silent auction is open to all attendees, and we are looking for items of all kinds that anyone can afford. Price range: $20-$500 (approximately). Silent auction items can be anything; be creative!

  • Some examples of silent auction items include:
    • Holiday-themed baskets, home decor, sports gear/memorabilia, pet items, movie-themed baskets, tickets to a play/show, admission to museums… the possibilities are endless.
  • Please refrain from donating your own branded merchandise for our silent auction, if possible. The goal of our auction is to raise money for the APSF, and branded merch never sells well.
  • Businesses that donate silent auction items may include contact info and more info about your business within your basket.
