Annual Sponsorships

Grow With Us!

Cornell Cooperative Extension Orange County (CCEOC) invites you to partner with us through event and program sponsorships that celebrate our community, strengthen local agriculture, and empower youth and families. Your sponsorship directly supports education, outreach, and hands-on learning opportunities across Orange County. This may be a great option and opportunity for yourself or your business. Levels range from an annual investment of just $100 as a "Friend" up to $15,000 to be a "Stellar Sponsor."  Please review each level and the outlined benefits to decide which is right for you.
