Event details and sponsorship opportunities for the Southern Maryland community.

Together We Thrive

Partner Up, Southern Maryland

Support Local Southern Maryland is bringing local businesses together to build a complete Family Relief package for one Southern Maryland family experiencing a difficult season.

The family-selection process and event date are still being finalized. Sponsorships are open now so local businesses, sole proprietors, and businesses operating under a DBA can help make the event possible.

When: Coming Soon

Where: Southern Maryland

Business Sponsorships

Choose Where You Would Like to Help

Sponsorships begin at $100. Select the relief category that best fits the impact your business wants to make. Support Local Southern Maryland will coordinate the actual purchases, gift cards, or approved payments after the family and its needs are confirmed.

Your category selection is a preference. Funds may be reassigned when a need changes, a category becomes fully funded, or another approved family-relief need becomes more important.
