WHAT ELSE IS NEW
We are now offering monthly sponsorship opportunities for NEBA! By sponsoring a month of your choice, your business will receive:
Your logo is featured on the NEBA invitation, which is distributed to approximately 1,100 recipients over a period of 3 weeks!
Visibility on our website for that sponsored month for the entire 2025/26 school year to be known as a Partner in Education.
Recognition during the program: Your sponsorship helps to cover the cost of box lunches.
Even better, we are partnering with culinary students from our local school districts, so your sponsorship dollars directly support a Career Pathway Program. It's a meaningful way to help both education and workforce development in the Northland.
Central Bank of the Midwest is our first confirmed sponsor and has secured the month of November, so don’t wait! Sponsorships are limited.
To reserve your month or ask questions, please contact Bridget Mendoza at bridgetm@clayedc.com or 816-994-4036.
