HIGHLIGHTED SPONSORSHIPS

Special Olympics Michigan, $1,000 each
For the Louisville Annual Conference, CACUBO is proud to partner with Special Olympics Michigan to help provide meals for athletes at the 2026 State Summer Games (May 28–30). A $1,000 sponsorship can provide up to 100 meals. Attendees will visit your booth to collect a “meal sticker” and place it on a fundraising board at the Special Olympics Michigan booth to show support. A QR code will also be available at your booth for personal donations. The Special Olympics booth will feature at least one athlete and their parents, who have been longtime CACUBO volunteers—making this a simple, meaningful way to give back to the region and support a great cause.

Derby Hat Making, $5,000
Join the fun at our Opening Event at Churchill Downs, sponsored by Forvis Mazars, by hosting a Derby Hat Making station! Your $5,000 sponsorship includes signage at the station and recognition in the CACUBO Annual Conference app and website. This unique experience offers great visibility and a memorable way to engage with attendees.

Coaching Sessions, $6,000
As part of CACUBO’s commitment to supporting the professional development and growth of its members, the 2025 Annual Conference will offer personalized one-on-one coaching sessions for 30 attendees, designed to enhance leadership and management skills. Sessions will be led by a certified coach and higher education leader. As a sponsor, you will receive prominent branding in all coaching-related signage and promotions, inclusion in pre-conference marketing, the opportunity to provide a branded marketing packet (e.g., brochure, pen, notepad), and valuable facetime with the 30 coaching participants, potentially during a meal or pre-conference workshop. This is a unique opportunity to align your brand with CACUBO’s premier leadership development offering and engage directly with current and future leaders in higher education business and finance.
