Sponsorship Opportunities
Support a Winning Cause While Elevating Your Brand
Step onto the court as a sponsor of Sheppard Pratt’s inaugural pickleball tournament, taking place at the L’Hirondelle Club of Ruxton. One of Maryland’s premier racquet clubs, L’Hirondelle offers a verdant setting to gather for spirited competition and meaningful philanthropy.
Your sponsorship supports Sheppard Pratt’s work to provide world-class, compassionate mental health services to the tens of thousands of youth we care for each year. As a sponsor, you will align your brand with a renowned mental health organization and gain exposure to an audience of community leaders, influencers, and professionals. Each sponsorship tier is designed to provide premium benefits, from courtside branding and speaking opportunities to targeted digital and media recognition. This is your opportunity to make a lasting impression and forge meaningful connections while supporting a cause that matters deeply.
