EVENTÂ
SPONSORSHIP
Dear Environmental Education Supporter,
​
We invite you to show your support for environmental education in our state by sponsoring Kansas Association for Conservation and Environmental Education (KACEE) events this year. KACEE unites public agencies, teachers, community organizations, businesses, and individuals behind a common cause - teaching kids how to think, not what to think, about environmental issues through non-biased and science-based EE.
KACEE is a 501(c)3 organization with a vison to grow a healthy, vibrant and resilient Kansas through the power of environmental education. A portion of your sponsorship is tax deductible. Your sponsorship will be recognized in our promotions, reaching 1300+ people across Kansas.
​
By sponsoring our fundraising events, you will help offset costs, reduce registration fees, and provide scholarships for educators. Support for environmental education is vital for a healthy environment, vibrant economy, and successful communities.
If environmental education is something that you or your organization deeply values, sponsoring one or more of our events provides the opportunity to live your values and lead your community by example.
​
Thank you for your consideration!

What is the KICK Challenge?
​
Keep It Clean, Kansas! We're inviting schools across the state to get involved in becoming greener schools by reducing or eliminate the waste they produce. We're looking for lead teachers and their students to initiate an investigation of waste in their school and work collaboratively to come up with creative and innovative solutions.
Through a partnership with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) ​we can provide support to lead teachers and students to complete this investigation and share their solutions. Video submissions of solutions enters your school in a competition for one of three $1,000 awards, and recognition as being green champions in our state.
