Thank You Team Sponsors

By joining forces, many long-time friends of The Talent Machine Company and new members of our community pooled their resources to support the Gala in teams, recognizing special people and groups to make a significant impact.

“Friends of Shane” raised enough money — more than $10,000 — to become our Gala’s Marquee Sponsor. We thank everyone for their contributions and we welcome all of you to our Talent Machine family!
