Songhees Nation - Sponsorship Request for Island Elders Lunch

Re: Sponsorship Request for Island Elders Lunch on lək̓ʷəŋən Territory

?ay skʷečəl / Good Day,

On behalf of Songhees Nation, we are pleased to invite your organization to support the upcoming Island Elders Lunch, taking place on July 29, 2026 at the Songhees Wellness Centre.

This special gathering will bring together Indigenous Elders from communities across Vancouver Island to celebrate their lifelong contributions, share cultural knowledge, strengthen connections, and honour the important role Elders continue to play in our communities.

To help make this event a success, we are seeking sponsorship from community-minded organizations and businesses. Contributions will assist with event expenses including meals, transportation, Elder gifts, cultural programming, and other supports that help create a welcoming and meaningful experience for all attendees.

Your support will directly contribute to recognizing and celebrating the Elders who carry the teachings, histories, languages, and traditions of our Nations. As a valued sponsor, your contribution will be acknowledged during the event and recognized as an important part of making this gathering possible.

Should you wish to support this event or lean more about sponsorship opportunities, please contact LaVatta Frank, Elders Liaison, at 250-386-1043 ext. 151 or LaVatta.Frank@songheesnation.com.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to honour our Elders and support Indigenous cultural connection and community well-being.
