About Us

 

At Shake a Hand Outreach, everything we do is rooted in one simple belief: when local businesses and local communities support one another, everyone wins. Our mission is to create meaningful connections that allow neighborhoods, families, and small businesses to grow together in a way that feels genuine, personal, and impactful.

The idea for Shake a Hand Outreach began with a simple moment. We noticed how often small businesses wanted to give back, but didn’t always know how to reach the people and events that truly mattered in their community. At the same time, families, organizations, and event hosts were searching for ways to bring their celebrations and gatherings to life without the heavy financial burden. There was a gap—and an opportunity—to bring those two worlds together. All it really took was a handshake and a shared purpose.

From that spark, Shake a Hand Outreach was born.

We set out to build something that felt different from traditional sponsorship programs. Instead of focusing only on large corporate events, we wanted to support the moments that make life meaningful: weddings, birthdays, quinceañeras, bar and bat mitzvahs, school fundraisers, neighborhood events, and community celebrations of all kinds. These are the moments people remember forever, and we believe they deserve the same level of care and support.

Our role is to act as a bridge. We connect local vendors and sponsors who want to be involved in their community with individuals and organizations that are creating those special moments. In doing so, businesses gain authentic visibility and trust, while event hosts receive the support they need to make their vision a reality. It’s not just about funding—it’s about forming relationships that strengthen the entire community.

What makes Shake a Hand Outreach special is our commitment to keeping things personal. We take the time to understand each event and each business, so every match feels intentional. When a sponsor supports a wedding or a local celebration, it’s not just a logo on a banner—it’s a business standing behind a family, a story, and a community.

At the heart of it all, we’re here to bring people together. We believe that a single connection can lead to lasting growth, shared success, and a stronger sense of belonging. That’s the Shake a Hand difference—and we’re proud to be part of every story we help create.
