Misc. Sponsorship Opportunities

  • CACUBO is partnering with TeamMates Mentoring for the CACUBO 2026 Annual Conference!  TeamMates Mentoring was founded in 1991 by Coach Tom Osborne and his wife Nancy, who believed that positive relationships could change lives.  What started with 22 Husker football players mentoring middle school students in Lincoln, Nebraska, has grown into a powerful movement—proven from the start, as nearly all of those original mentees graduated and pursued further education or careers.

    Sponsor donations, $1000 each:  For each $1000 Sponsorship, the sponsor chooses one of the two options below.  CACUBO will provide stickers for you to distribute to attendees who visit your booth.  The attendees will take the sticker to the TeamMates booth to gather on a sponsorship picture board.

    • Conversation starter: A deck of cards filled with questions/prompts that help matches engage in meaningful conversations.  Very popular with our mentees, and many schools would benefit from having them. Your sponsorship purchases 100 Conversation Starter decks!
    • Books for Vending Machines: Through a state of Nebraska READ grant, TeamMates has installed book vending machines in schools across the state for mentees in grades 3–8. Using literacy and positive‑behavior incentives set by each school, mentees earn tokens to select a book from the machine—a book they get to keep! Your sponsorship provides up to 100 new books for these machines.
       
  • Sponsorship Opportunity - "Paws" for Relaxation!  
    A new sponsorship opportunity for the CACUBO 2026 Annual Conference.  We have partnered with Paws for Friendship to provide "paws" for relaxation.  Paws for Friendship Inc. is a Therapy Pet Organization proudly celebrating 33 years of volunteer service in 2026.  Their certified, registered, and insured pets and owners focus their visits to nursing homes, hospitals, schools, etc. located across the Nation.  There will also be an option for tax deductible donations to help the Paws for Friendship grow and reach those in need of a wagging tail that offers unconditional love to everyone regardless of age or disability.  Everyone must leave a legacy and Paws for Friendship Inc. is the legacy of Jennie, their beloved founder. Jennie was a beaten and scared great dane puppy who saved the life of their current President Jan Schmidt and helped enhance the lives of thousands.
