MLWGS Fall Festival Seeks Corporate Sponsors!
Fall
Festival is about fun, but it is also the major fundraiser for school clubs and
organizations! The students have a chance to reach a wide audience and be
creative in how they compete for attention, and tickets, by offering a variety
of entertainment and food! The MLWGS PTSA makes Fall Festival possible by
underwriting the expenses that come along with such a massive undertaking. Last
year corporate sponsorships from Patient First, State Farm, Finance for Church
and Short Pump Dental made it possible for the Fall Festival Committee to cover
more current year costs and to purchase items that can be used yearly by the
Festival. Donations will help the Fall Festival Committee meet its goal to have
30 tents available for booths offering food and to purchase supplies for a new
Kid Zone barrier to separate a free play area for the youngsters.
This year
we are offering two levels of Corporate Sponsorship - Gold for $500 and Silver for
$250! All donations are tax-deductible as the PTSA is a non-profit. All sponsors
will receive the following:
- Inclusion as a sponsor in at least two online articles in Smoke and Scales. One article will appear before the Festival and one after.
- Mention on the Fall Festival Facebook Page.
- Front Page Logo Placements on Festival Program, with Gold Sponsors having larger logos. The PTSA prints 500 programs.
- Four announcements during the Festival.
- Placard on Stand at Fall Festival Stage with Logo. Gold Sponsors will have larger logos at the top of the placard.
Please
contact Michelle Hobbs, michellehobbs@me.com, with suggestions for businesses that
would be willing to offer a corporate sponsorship. The deadline is Wednesday,
September 30, but businesses will be promoted as sponsors as they sign
up!
