2. Partnerships
The Label is a unique opportunity for companies, foundations, and individuals to support GOGO while receiving year-round marketing benefits, behind-the-scenes engagement, and VIP invitations to our programs and events throughout the year.
As part of those year-round perks, membership includes benefits specific to Band Together , such as marketing and brand exposure, and VIP seating for a group of guests (quantity varies by level).
Partnerships power Band Together.
Think event sponsorships, but with benefits that last the whole year, not just one night!

This year, our auction will be marketed well beyond our Band Together guests. The auction will be online and open for bidding to all. Auction donors will receive exposure of their brand before, during, and after the concert. And, all proceeds from the silent auction directly benefit our students and programs.
Auction items are due by September 12, 2025. Donors should fill out and return the downloadable form below.
