Cinema Touching Disability Film Festival
As Texas' preeminent disability-themed film festival, Cinema Touching Disability celebrates films that illustrate how people with disabilities lead both ordinary and extraordinary lives. Popular, well-established and respected, Cinema Touching Disability has been honored with numerous media awards.
CTD has designed a program of sponsorship opportunities to appeal to a variety of partners. In addition to the specific menu of benefits, including Film Fest website, e-newsletter, event program, and social media acknowledgement, sponsors will receive recognition in the CTD Messenger (circulation 3,000), a statewide e-newsletter highlighting current disability issues and events reaching people with disabilities, their family members and caretakers, and the organizations and agencies that serve them.
CTD is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Sponsorships support this excellent public awareness event and the ongoing disability advocacy work of CTD.
