Early donations are the foundation of our Benefit fundraising success! All patrons and underwriters who contribute to the Benefit by March 20 will be recognized in the printed event invitation. Check out the available underwriting opportunities and patron perks at the link above. 

Need another reason to support the Benefit as a patron or underwriter? You’ll be invited to the 2026 patron party hosted on Wednesday, April 22 at the mysterious and atmospheric “Le Cellar” wine library in Pasadena.

What’s a Benefit Underwriter?
Underwriters sponsor specific aspects of our event to contribute to a great atmosphere and experience. Underwriters are recognized on promotional materials and event signage and can sponsor things like the bar, the photobooth, valet parking, or live music. You don’t have to attend to underwrite.

What’s a Benefit Patron?
Patrons contribute above the cost of their tickets to offer extra financial support for the event’s primary cause: the Mayfield Endowment. Patrons attend the event and enjoy perks such as priority check-in, an invitation to a pre-event Patron Party, and they also sponsor faculty tickets to allow teachers and staff to attend free of charge.

We welcome gift cards (restaurants, salons, rideshare, etc.), unique experiences, specialty or self-care items — along with vacation home stays, sporting or concert tickets, fine wine, jewelry, and more. Let us know about your auction contribution at the link above.
