We are grateful for their dedication and support of SPHERE.</p><p>Through a sponsorship of “Nuts about the Nutcracker”, your business will be advertised to over 1,600 residents in Ridgefield and the surrounding communities. Your support means you can help our members and volunteers continue programming that enhances the lives of our local adults with disabilities -- programs such as Music and Performing Arts, Walking Club, Cooking, Jewelry, and Art.</p><p>A $300 sponsorship includes:</p><p> Your business name highlighted in the program  Signage for your business on stage throughout the show</p><p>SPHERE enables its members to participate in and enjoy a dimension of life that is often missing for people with developmental, cognitive and intellectual disabilities. Our programs provide a safe venue for social interaction and development, skill building, meeting and making friends. SPHERE’s network of members, volunteers and community leaders has become extended family – a family that celebrates individual accomplishments and provides comfort for disappointments. </p><p>We greatly appreciate your continued support of SPHERE and want to wish you and your business a very prosperous holiday season.</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Lori Berisford President & Board Chair</p><p>BOARD OF DIRECTORS:</p><p>Lori Berisford Jill Edelman Barberie Rebecca Ciota Neil Gollogly Wendy Gannon Lionetti Margaret Price Nicki Smith P.O.
