PROPOSED PARTNERSHIP

 

We invite Your Company to be the exclusive Presenting Title Sponsor for a truly one-of-a-kind event - the 9th World Beard & Moustache Championships! This contest will be an ideal platform for maximum visibility since the stage is where all the action takes place.

For only the second time in the contest’s history, it is being held in the US. A sold out crowd of 3000 Anchorage residents, media, and tourists is anticipated. Based on past championships, the media exposure will be huge and worldwide. Already there have been recent inquiries from the Washington Times, Time Magazine, Philadelphia Inquirer, Fortune Magazine, the CBS Early Show, the BBC, and more.

This partnership seems a perfect fit for Your Company. Not only will you have high visibility at the event, but maybe more importantly, they will be benefiting the charities of the Lions Clubs, namely The Alaska Center for the Blind, Camp-Abilities, and the Northwest Eye Foundation. All net proceeds from this event will be donated to the 49A Foundation Fund, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization operated by the local Lions Clubs.

Presenting Title Sponsor:

Your rights and benefits package will include these opportunities, but may not be limited to:

· Exclusive sponsorship of the Competition: “The 9th WBMC brought to you by Your Company

· Sponsor banners (provided by you) draped down from the front of the competition stage in during the event.

· 20 VIP tickets to the event and Friday reception.

· Pre-purchase of tickets to the event prior to the public sale.

· Complimentary on-site information and product sampling table.

· A free half page ad (provided by you) in the official program and insert in Coast Magazine, with statewide distribution of 20,000. This program will be published at the start of May for maximum exposure.

· A large web presence with website links on the Official Anchorage Convention & Visitors Bureau website: www.anchorage.net/worldbeard, as well as the Host Club’s website: www.akbeardclub.com and the World Beard and Moustache Championships site: www.worldbeardchampionships.com.

· Recognition on all print, radio, and television promotions for the Championships.

There are various events starting on Wednesday, May 20th, with the actual Championship Contest on Saturday, May 23, and ending on Sunday, May 24 with a group excursion. In short, the World Beard & Moustache Championship is an ideal platform for Your Company to make it’s presence know to the people of Alaska and well beyond!

The exclusive sponsorship for title to the competition stage is available for a starting price of $15,000. Many other sponsorship opportunities are available as well and all terms and costs are negotiable.

Please consider this proposal as only a starting point. We look forward to working with you on additional sponsorship ideas to maximize your exposure.

I would like to call in the next few days to further discuss this opportunity. The South Central AK Beard and Moustache Club would love to have you as a partner in this event to benefit our local charities! To learn more, go to www.akbeardclub.com

Thank you!

Sincerely,
