BECOME A SPONSOR OF RICHARD SKIPPER CELEBRATES

Celebration. Connection. Community.

Richard Skipper Celebrates is built on a simple belief: people want to feel seen, heard, and celebrated.

Through my live shows, Richard Skipper Celebrates conversations, Monday Celebrations newsletter, website, and social media, I bring people together around the artists, stories, ideas, and experiences that make our lives richer.

Sponsorship helps me continue doing that while giving artists, individuals, businesses, and organizations an opportunity to become part of the community we're building.

Your support helps underwrite musicians, special guests, venues, production, marketing, photography and video, community outreach, and the continued growth of Richard Skipper Celebrates.

And sponsorship isn't a one-way street. I want to celebrate my sponsors, too.

Whenever possible, I look for meaningful ways to introduce my audience to what you are doing—whether that's an upcoming performance, new recording, book, business, organization, or project you want more people to discover.

SPONSOR SOMETHING SPECIFIC

Sometimes you don't want to sponsor everything. You want to help make one particular thing happen.

I love that.

You might choose to underwrite:

  • A special guest
  • Musical director and musicians
  • Artist fees
  • Audience Question Cards
  • Photography or video production
  • Livestreaming
  • Community outreach
  • Tickets for people who might otherwise be unable to attend
  • An edition of Monday Celebrations

  • A future live performance
  • Touring and bringing Richard Skipper Celebrates to new communities

If there's something you'd specifically like to make possible, let's talk about it.

LET'S CREATE SOMETHING TOGETHER

I don't believe every partnership should look exactly the same.

Perhaps you'd like to support live entertainment. Perhaps you have a project that deserves greater visibility. Maybe you'd like to underwrite a musician, sponsor a newsletter, help bring the show to another city, or simply become part of what we're building.

Let's have a conversation.

Tell me what you're hoping to accomplish, and let's see if there's a partnership that makes sense for both of us.

Some Testimonials

From Deborah Stone:

I had the great good fortune to sponsor Richard Skipper Celebrates interview series for a month. Having thus exposed my name and brand to his audience, I found my social media pages were visited by more people than previously, thereby increasing my visibility to those who hadn't previously been aware of me. Richard is a friend, and I feel we both benefited from this sponsorship opportunity. Thank you, Richard!

From Ann Kittredge:

Dear Richard,
I want to thank you, Richard, for the wonderful entertainment you provide to your ever- expanding audience, especially last week in which I am grateful to have sponsored. I did it for a couple of reasons:

  • Reach a larger audience for my upcoming shows
  • Celebrate the launch of my album reIMAGINE

I like your style, and thought any person watching you could be the kind of person that I want to attract into my performance sphere. And I got so much more.

I hadn’t thought about the fact that these videos exist in perpetuity, so anytime someone watches them in the future, I continue to get exposure. I hadn’t considered that, because of your eclectic interests, you would draw a varied audience with your engaging subjects and guests. You went above and beyond what I expected from my sponsorship: you used ALL social media platforms to promote my album and upcoming work. Unexpected performance opportunities have come my way specifically related to my sponsorship of your shows. And the analytics for the week absolutely exceeded my expectations. That week alone received over 7900 views, 374 watching hours, and over 200 additional subscribers. That’s what I call a smart investment.

I also want to thank your guests last week, Sandra Bargman, Harlon Boll, Ruthie Darling, Jane Dorian, Miles Evans, Kassira McKee, Barbara Minkus, Parker Nolan and Alan Rode who took us on engaging journeys through their eyes into the worlds of environmentalism, movies, reminiscences of Jerry Herman, children’s books, cabaret, and an award-winning world-class musician.

Who could ask for anything more?

With great gratitude (and let’s do it again!),
Ann Kittredge
