BECOME A CORTEZ SPONSOR

Spread Holiday Cheer and Make a Difference!

Get your business in front of hundreds of Southwest Colorado residents while helping create a more inclusive community! Festival of Wreaths is a free, family-friendly holiday tradition that brings joy to all—and supports vital services for people with disabilities right here in our region.

This year’s Cortez-based event runs November 28th - December 7th at the Cortez Area Chamber of Commerce. All wreaths will be displayed in a single, spectacular location as well as online for even broader reach! Guests will stroll through an immersive, magical wonderland of wreaths decorated by local sponsors, engage in a variety of family friendly activities, and bid on the dazzling decorations and gifts—all while supporting Community Connections and Our Own Lives, two nonprofits dedicated to helping individuals with disabilities thrive in Southwest Colorado.

Sponsoring the Festival gives your business high-visibility recognition across the region—both in person and online. You'll reach hundreds of visitors on-site at the event, plus online participants throughout the months of November and December. Best of all, your tax-deductible donation helps people with disabilities live healthy, connected, and fulfilling lives in our community.
