Sponsorship Opportunities

August 2, 3, & 4

The Greater Rockford Italian American Association (GRIAA) will be hosting the 45th annual Festa Italiana Fundraiser August 2nd, 3rd and 4th, 2024. GRIAA is a non-profit organization staffed solely by volunteers, and promotes Italian Culture through social events, works of charity, and educational activities throughout the community.

The Greater Rockford Italian American Association (GRIAA) Committee has two major goals as part of our charter:

To disseminate Italian culture and to create awareness of our contribution to civilization. This is accomplished in sponsoring many Italian cultural events such as our Italian Folk Dance Troupe, Festa Italiana, the Italian Men and Women’s Golf Open, and the Pappagallo publication.
To help Italian American students financially with their education by providing scholarships distributed within the Rockford Community.

Festa Italiana is the only fundraiser we host to earn funds for these scholarships. To date, GRIAA has provided more than 730,000.00 towards scholarships to students in the K-12th grade.

We are currently seeking sponsorship for our 2024 festival. Our hope is to increase our gift of scholarships over the coming years and we would appreciate your support. Your donation will serve our community twofold. It will help our scholarship fund grow and it will provide publicity for your business.

We owe all our success to community leaders like you!

Please see our sponsorship opportunities available for 2024 below.

Sincerely,

GRIAA & Festa Italiana Committees
