Sponsorship Opportunities

REEL TO REAL NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT The Reel to Real: A Celebration of Moving Images for Youth Society (Reel to Real) is a non-profit registered charity dedicated to showing the best in culturally diverse, authentic programming for youth. Reel to Real presents an annual film festival, the Reel 2 Real International Film Festival for Youth (R2R), and media arts programming year-round. Reel to Real actively seeks to build sustaining partnerships with individuals, foundations, corporations, and public supporters. These groups provide philanthropic contributions, sponsorship support and many volunteer hours that allow the Reel 2 Real International Film Festival for Youth to continue to succeed year after year. Our sincere thanks to each and every partner whose help enables us to provide the quality programming and education for which we are recognized.

This year Reel 2 Real faces some new challenges due to arts funding cutbacks. In an effort to raise the $10,000 short fall, Reel 2 Real is having an online auction. Please visit the auction website to bid on some great one-of-a-kind services and items, all donated by local business and organizations. There are many ways to show your support! If you would like to donate to the auction please contact: education@r2rfestival.org
