Subject: Invitation to Sponsor the 2026 Regis4Ever Gala

Dear Potential Sponsor,

The Regis 4Ever Foundation was founded in 2021 to honour the life of Regis Korchinski-Paquet, who died during a police wellness check in May 2020. In her memory, our Foundation supports families impacted by police violence across Canada by providing emotional support, guidance through legal and social service systems, and advocacy for policy and legislative reform.

Since 2023, our annual gala has brought together families, allies, and community leaders to remember those lost, share healing through music and culture, and strengthen the call for systemic change. Last year, more than 100 people attended, raising 5 thousand dollars to directly support families.

We invite you to join us as a sponsor of the 2026 PURPLE Affair Gala in February. Your support will help us create a powerful space for remembrance, resilience, and transformation.

You can support in the following ways:

  • Sponsor the Gala – Provide financial support for food, honorariums, prizes, and entertainment.

  • Become a VIP Guest – Purchase a table of 10 tickets; your organization’s logo will be displayed and recognized at the event.

  • Donate Prizes or Gifts – Contribute items for our raffle, with proceeds going to the Foundation.

  • Share Our Message – Promote the gala to your members and networks.

Together, we can honour Regis’s memory and bring forward justice, accountability, and change. The full description of sponsorship packages is attached. Please feel free to contact us at regis4everfoundation@outlook.com to discuss sponsorship opportunities.

With gratitude,

Claudette Beals-Clayton
