Examples of events available for sponsorship and funding include:
- The Annual Live Butterfly Release, held every July
- The Grand Parade (North Bay), held every September

How Your Support Impacts the Community
Should you choose to sponsor a specific event, your supporting impact will vary depending on the event. Generally, support towards the Near North Palliative Care Network helps us to fulfill our mission:
- That advocacy for Visiting Hospice and palliative care reaches a broader audience,
- More Canadians are aware of Visiting Hospice services and are educated in palliative care,
- Visiting Hospice services, including palliative care and bereavement services, are issued to a larger percentage of those in need of them; and
- Ongoing NNPCN campaigns, such as those engaging with child grief and senior isolation, can continue.
