Invitation for Sponsoring the 2013 Animal Adoption Fair
2012 was a great year for animals in South Florida. New shelters have been approved and some are being built. The “Pet Trust” was passed by Dade county voters, and hopefully will come up to Broward and WPB counties soon. Plus our second annual “Animal Adoption Fair” was a great success. We filled the venue with 100 exhibitors, over 5,000 people, and over 200 animals adopted on the day!
We had lots of people shopping and roaming for pets and all the things that go with them! Some were original and quite unique…
And some were there looking for forever homes, just what you expected…
We have again booked the “War Memorial Auditorium” for Aug 25th, 2013 for the 3rd Annual “Animal Adoption Fair”. With your help this one will be even bigger and better than last year, and I’d like to get at least 300 animals adopted out this year as our goal! We are the only event that gives FREE spaces to 501c3 shelter/rescues and with your support we can keep that an ongoing tradition…
We have endeavored to make the nicest event without a lot of the frills that waste money. I like to get the best bang for my buck, and am used to working on a shoestring budget. I also manage to get good media coverage and the main sponsors get good exposure and have prime places on our programs, banners, flyers, and etc. We are looking for one sponsor to donate $1500 for our annual “Animal Crusaders Award”, where you will have your name on the check at the award ceremony, and on the plaque given to the recipient. They in turn, donate that money to their favorite animal charity. You will also receive a half page ad in our program this year reaching hopefully over 10,000 people on the day.
So far we haven’t had a “Main” sponsor, that is, someone to put up $5000 and have the event named after them. The 3rd annual (insert your name) Animal Adoption Fair. This sponsorship, and only one is offered, means your name is on EVERYTHING! You’ll be right at the top. You also will receive:
- Choice of booth space(s) and placement at the event.
- Anytime the event is mentioned in the media your name will be there too.
- Mentions throughout the day at the event from the stage.
- Logo and link back to your site on our website.
- A full page ad in our program and website.
- Receipt and Thank you letter for your tax-deductible donation.
Your donation will be used directly to cover costs of the venue, and is needed!
Other sponsor positions are available. We have the “Regular sponsorship” for a total cost of $1500 which includes:
- Your logo on all printed materials.
- You get listed with your logo on our website with a link to your website.
- A booth space at the event with 1st choice on available spaces.
- A ¼ page ad in our program and website.
- A promo and mention of your spot from onstage during the event itself.
- Receipt and Thank you letter for your tax-deductible donation.
We also have a “Patron” category for $500 available too. This includes:
- You get listed with your logo on our website with a link to your website.
- You get your logo on our program.
- A 1/8 page (business card size) in our program and website.
- A booth space at the event
- Receipt and Thank you letter for your tax-deductible donation.
There is one more important area that needs funding. In order to entice people to the event last year I had to buy the “Parking” on the day from the city so that visitors on the day coming to a free event didn’t have to pay $6/car to park. This was a major out of pocket expense, and this year it would be nice if a corporate entity or generous benefactor would step up and cover this. The cost is $2500 and includes the attendants and security on the day. This would also include:
- Your logo on all printed materials
- Your logo on our website with a link back to your site.
- A ½ page ad in our program and website
- 2 promo mentions from the stage during the event.
- A booth space at the event with your 1st pick on available spaces.
- Receipt and Thank you letter for your tax-deductible donation.
Another Way you can participate is by donating for Ad space in our program.
The examples on the back page of last year’s program are all ¼ page ads.
Ad sizes and suggested donations are as follows:
- 1/8 page (business card size) ———————$150.00 donation
- ¼ page size ——————————————–$250.00 donation
- ½ page size ——————————————–$400.00 donation
- Full page ———————————————–$750.00 donation
- All ad money goes to paying for the cost of the programs for this non-profit event, and will be considered a donation for tax purposes and will come with a receipt and Thank you letter as well.
The animals, adoption fair staff, and I thank you for your help and your support. With you we can make this the biggest animal charity event in all of Florida.
Yours for a better world
Sincerely,
