You can help Holiday Express deliver the gift of human kindness. Adopt an Event.
Each holiday season, our joyful band of musicians, dedicated volunteer elves, and generous supporters come together to make sure no one feels forgotten. We bring music, laughter, and kindness to nearly 27,000 people across 100 nonprofit agencies in NJ, NY, and PA—brightening the holidays for those facing mental and physical challenges, homelessness, addiction, serious illnesses, and other hardships.
Our Adopt-an-Event program gives sponsors the opportunity to directly support a holiday party at a soup kitchen, homeless shelter, special needs school, or other community organization. Adopting an event is a meaningful way for you to celebrate the holidays.
Why Sponsor?
- Make a Meaningful Impact: Your support brings holiday magic to individuals who may otherwise have to go without.
- Visibility & Recognition: Sponsors receive recognition on-site at their adopted event, on our website, and in select promotional materials or on Social Media. You can stay anonomous if you choose to as well.
- Team Involvement: Many sponsors choose to volunteer at their adopted event, seeing firsthand the smiles they help create. Your and your guest are welcome to join in on the fun and share kindness with those in our community who need it most.
Your Sponsorship Provides:
- A live Holiday Express performance with full sound equipment
- Transportation for the band and volunteers
- Gifts filled with essential items and festive surprises
- Nutritious meals for every guest
- Party goods to create a joyful atmosphere
- Toys to bring smiles to children.
By adopting an event, you’re not just funding a holiday party—you’re giving a child with special needs their moment in the spotlight, putting a smile on a veteran’s face, and ensuring that someone facing food insecurity receives a warm meal and the only gift they’ll open this holiday season. For many of our guests, this is their only celebration—your support makes it possible.
