CHARITABLE Involvement & SPONSORSHIPS
Wheelhouse often partners with its community’s non-profit organizations and associations and helps provide fundraising options.
While there are many worthy causes within its communities, Wheelhouse aligns its charitable donation budget with organizations that benefit children’s health and wellness, educational development, or sports in their respective missions.
Additionally, Wheelhouse is committed to helping non-profit organizations and associations maximize fundraising results at their events. This can be done at no associated cost to the organization when utilizing Wheelhouse memorabilia for standard or silent auctions.
