Dear Business Owner or Manager,
Manatee Meat Company, the non-politically correct marketing agency for 7 Gifts of Kindness is seeking annual sponsors for 2026. At the heart of this effort is a simple but powerful mission: to remind Cancer Warriors, Caregivers, Children in need of advocacy and other life-altering challenges that they are seen, supported, and not alone.
Through the generosity of sponsors like you, 7 Gifts of Kindness provides thoughtfully curated gift boxes that offer comfort, dignity, and hope during some of life’s most difficult moments. These gifts are donated to Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute, Share the Care, and Jessie’s Place, directly reaching individuals and families when encouragement matters most.
Each gift box contains seven individually wrapped items, packaged together with instructions to open one gift per day, creating a week-long reminder that someone cares. Items vary throughout the year and may include a cozy blanket, a hot or cold tumbler, a journal, a word search book, or a night light. Gift bags prepared for Jessie’s Place are tailored for children and include age-appropriate items such as coloring and activity books, crayons, and notebooks, offering comfort and a sense of normalcy during uncertain times.
Below is a list of the local annual events we host throughout the year. We host several smaller monthly events and are present at a some of the local festivals which vary from year to year. This is a meaningful opportunity for your company to be visibly represented at every event, aligning your brand with compassion, community support, and a cause that makes a real and lasting impact.
