Annual Partnership Program and Sponsorship Opportunities

2023 Annual Partnership Opportunities

Reflecting on a successful 2022, we head into 2023 poised for progress on the the vision of Wellfield’s Master Plan and furthering our Mission for the community: to celebrate the inseparable relationship between water and life, inspire creativity and lifelong learning, foster stewardship of our natural world, and grow community. While our founders dreamed of ever-increasing attendance and community engagement, it’s unlikely many envisioned so much could be accomplished in such a short period of time. Wellfield set another total attendance record in 2022—over 75,000 guests—across programs including admission, education, private rentals, community partner and special events.

2022 highlights included:

As an Annual Partner, you’ll share in these accomplishments that further our Mission Your support makes a direct impact in our community. Through the vision of our Board, the tireless commitment of volunteers throughout the community, and the dedication of passionate staff, we are committed to making a difference in Elkhart and beyond.

Will you help us in making that difference for 2023?

We invite you to be a part of our vibrant, dynamic, and growing regional attraction. The momentum of previous years gives us tremendous enthusiasm for 2023: The Year of New Horizons (#NewHorizons) celebrating the true community treasure that Wellfield has grown to be. But as we know, a garden never stops growing. A garden is a dynamic and changing environment. We are putting our passions to work cultivating new projects, nurturing small sprouts of ideas to maturity, and fostering sustainable growth moving forward. We are always looking to the horizon.

Sincerely,                                 

Eric Garton | Robert and Peggy Weed Executive Director
Janet Evanega | 2023-2024 Chair, Board of Directors
