What is the Armstrong Benefit 2026 program? Will there be a seated dinner?

There will not be a formal seated dinner. Instead, guests will enjoy abundant food and beverages throughout the evening. Seating for the program will feature couches and chairs in a relaxed lounge-style setting within the venue.
Sponsors will receive preferred seating.
Is my Armstrong Benefit 2026 sponsorship tax-deductible?
Sponsorships are tax-deductible to the extent that goods or services are not received in exchange.
For this year’s event, sponsorship packages include event tickets at various levels. Each ticket has a fair market value of $300, which is not tax-deductible if used personally.
If sponsors do not use the tickets included in their package, the full sponsorship amount may be treated as a charitable contribution and fully tax-deductible.
Sponsors may also donate their tickets for faculty and staff to attend. In that case, that portion of the sponsorship is fully tax-deductible.
Will there be an auction? Will there be live fundraising at the event?
We will host a very small online auction featuring “Armstrong Exclusives” - treasured experiences for current families.
There will not be a live auction or “Raise the Paddle” during the event.
What is Armstrong’s Tax ID number?
94-1666217
