Sponsor The 2026 Gala

Why Sponsor the Detroit Gala?

Michigan League of Conservation Voters’ annual gala convenes leaders in philanthropy, social justice, policy, and government who advance environmental advocacy and democracy. Each year we celebrate honorees who have made a lasting impact for all Michiganders.

Sponsoring Michigan LCV’s 14th Annual Detroit Gala is a powerful way to showcase your commitment to environmental stewardship and social justice. It puts your brand alongside the leaders and advocates shaping policies that protect our planet and democracy.

As a sponsor you:

Align your company with real action — show your commitment to fighting back against environmental destruction and threats to democracy.

Connect with top decision-makers — network with Michigan’s most influential leaders, policymakers, business executives, and advocates shaping Michigan’s future.

Elevate your brand — demonstrates your leadership in sustainability, justice, and civic engagement.

Inspire your employees and clients — show them you stand on the right side of history.

Previous Galas Have Featured:

  • U.S. Senators Gary Peters, Debbie Stabenow, and Ed Markey
  • Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist
  • State legislators, clean energy CEOs, major media, activists, and more

Be a part of Michigan’s premier gathering of influential champions for the environment and democracy.
