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 Midlothian Behavioral Health Associates,
Virginia Family Physicians, Patient First, Finance for Churches, Nyfeler
Associates, Short Pump Dental, Natural Awakenings, Commonwealth Primary Care,
and Laxmi Palace made it possible for the Fall Festival Committee to cover more
of the yearly costs and to purchase items like tents and chaffing stands that
can be used yearly by the Festival.
This
year the Fall Festival hopes to reduce the amount of money charged to the clubs
and organizations for participating in the festival, thereby increasing
the amount of money they make, while also continuing to concentrate
on safety and fun!
The
Fall Festival is 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. Smoke and Scales is the weekly newsletter of the MLWGS PTSA and is distributed widely within the MLWGS community and to numerous external supporters.
- Mention on the Fall Festival Facebook Page.
- Four announcements during the Festival. Approximately 1500 - 2000 people attend the festival each year!
- Placard on Stand at Fall Festival Stage with Logo. Gold Sponsors will have larger logos at the top of the placard.
Please
contact Debbie Taminger, debtaminger@gmail.com,
with suggestions for businesses that would be willing to offer a corporate
sponsorship. The deadline is Wednesday, September 28, but businesses will
be promoted as sponsors as they sign up!
