Sponsors of Connections 2022 honor Lab’s 125th anniversary and contribute to raising critical funds for Lab and our financial aid program. In return for your generous contribution, companies and individuals will be recognized in print and online materials and prominently featured at the gala event which hosts more than 600 members of our community. The benefits of sponsorship are outlined below in more detail. 

 

You can complete your sponsorship registration online here. Sponsorships may be pledged over one year and paid by June 30, 2022 or pledged over two years with payments by June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023. In addition, we do have special anniversary levels of sponsorships above $100,000 available. Please contact us if you are interested in these levels, would like to make a pledge, or have any other questions at connections@ucls.uchicago.edu.
