BECOME A GIRLS ROCK MKE SPONSOR
Invest in Milwaukee’s Creative Future
At Girls Rock MKE, we’re more than just a music camp—we’re a creativity incubator that empowers girls, women, and gender-expansive individuals to find their voices, build confidence, and express themselves through music. Your investment helps remove financial barriers, ensuring that every camper has access to instruments, mentorship, and a life-changing experience on stage. By sponsoring Girls Rock MKE, you’re not just supporting a program—you’re fostering leadership, creativity, and inclusivity in Milwaukee’s music and arts community.
Girls Rock MKE depends on a supportive and enthusiastic community of parents, volunteers, musicians, artists, businesses, friends, and donors who keep our programming accessible for all campers. Your sponsorship helps ensure the continued growth and sustainability of Girls Rock MKE and our mission. Your support helps fund:
🎤 $50 – Pays a local artist to perform and mentor at our camps
🎸 $400 – Covers tuition for one Girls Rock camper
🎶 $1,000 – Supports a full day of camp operations
Sponsors will enjoy recognition at our wildly popular camp showcases held at Radio Milwaukee Studios and Vivarium and other perks like behind-the-scenes tours, VIP events, and social media shout-outs. But most importantly, sponsors will have the opportunity to reinforce their values by aligning with the mission of Girls Rock MKE. Whether you become a Monthly Supporter, a Band Backer targeted donor, a Meal Sponsor, or a Platinum Partner camp season sponsor, your investment makes an impact. Join us in amplifying voices that deserve to be heard.
