For Tucson’s boldest night of giving
On January 30, 2027, Tucson's culinary community is going all in — beards shaved, hair donated — to raise $500,000 for The Tucson Family Food Project. Sponsoring Fresh Start puts your brand shoulder-to-shoulder with the chefs, families and kids writing this story.
Help sponsor an evening where all funds fuel year-round meals for kids, needed kitchen upgrades to increase program participation, and hope for Tucson families. This truly will be a very unique and special night benefitting our community.

SPONSORSHIP LEVELS
Tucson, AZ
TITLE SPONSOR
($50,000–$100,000 · only 3 available)
Some partners don't just support a moment — they become part of the moment itself.
Title Sponsorship is the highest honor we offer, because it's the only level where your name doesn't just appear at the gala — it lives on permanently in our new production kitchen, on a plaque marking your role in building the very heart of how we feed Tucson's kids and families for years to come.
As one of only three Title Sponsors, you'll claim exclusive rights to one of our three signature "Named Moments" — Presenting Sponsor of The Shave-Off Ceremony, The Fresh Start Welcome, or The Fresh Start Livestream — category-exclusive branding no other sponsor can touch. You'll take the stage yourself with three minutes to speak directly to the room, sit at a premier VIP table of ten, and carry your name through our digital and print presence, our social recognition all the way through 2027, and first right of refusal to renew this partnership in the years ahead. This isn't sponsorship — it's a standing invitation to help lead this movement, not just for one night, but for good.
BENEFITS
Everything in Legendary Sponsor, plus:
Named plaque in the new TTFFP production kitchen
Premier logo size and placement on the TTFFP delivery truck
Table for 10 — VIP seating
Premier placement on all digital & print assets
Exclusive branding rights to your Named Moment
3 minutes of dedicated company rep speaking time at the event

The three exclusive Title Sponsor positions also each choose one Named Moment and category exclusivity.
Your logo will be the only sponsor highlighted in that area of the gala for the evening.
Moment 1 — Presenting Sponsor of The Shave-Off Ceremony

LEGENDARY SPONSOR

Some names become part of the story itself.
When Tucson looks back on the night four beloved culinary icons shaved their beards for a fresh start, your name will be woven into how that story gets told. As a Legendary Sponsor, you're not just funding this movement — you're standing at the center of it, recognized from the stage, featured across our pre-event campaign, and carried through our community for the whole year that follows. With only two of these partnerships available, this is a rare seat at the very front of something Tucson will remember for a generation. This is your moment to become part of a legend that feeds families for years to come.

Before the beards are shaved, before the headlines run, before the whole city catches on — Visionary Sponsors are already there, believing in what The Tucson Family Food Project is building.

LEGACY SPONSOR
$5,000–$10,000 (Unlimited)
Every movement needs a foundation. This is where it starts.
Legacy Sponsors are the bedrock of the Fresh Start Gala — the names on our Founders Wall who said yes early and helped make this whole night possible. Your support puts you on our program, our gala website, and in the press coverage as this campaign builds toward its $500,000 goal, all in service of getting more kids and families in Tucson the meals and stability they deserve. There's no limit to how many Legacy Sponsors can join us, which means this is an open invitation to be part of the founding group behind something that's going to matter to this city for a long time.
BENEFITS
Recognition on the TTFFP Office Founders Wall
Logo on the printed program
Logo on the Fresh Start Gala website

CORE SPONSOR
$2,000–$4,000 (Unlimited)
Your business makes this evening possible
Core Sponsors are the foundation of the Fresh Start Gala. Together, you cover the cost of hosting the evening, so every ticket, auction bid and donation raised that night goes straight to feeding Tucson's kids and families. That means more meals on kitchen tables, more kids learning to cook healthy food, and more families getting a fresh start. When local businesses come together at this level, you aren't just sponsoring a party. You're making sure every dollar our community gives goes to the kids who need it most.
