We are delighted to inform you that our Annual Holiday Social will be held Thursday, December 8th, 2011 at the Marriott Vancouver Pinnacle Downtown. The Holiday Social is an excellent opportunity for members, guests and anyone interested in broadening their business network to enjoy themselves in a collegial atmosphere during the holiday season.
Our event is a benefit for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. Attendees are encouraged to bring a donation for the food bank and all proceeds will go toward this charity. The Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society was established in 1982 and has since helped to feed up to 9000 people a week in Burnaby, New Westminster, Vancouver and the North Shore. They do not receive government funding and therefore rely on private citizens to keep operating. In addition we hope you will consider sponsoring our event with a tax-deductible cash sponsorship or donation in kind, to be used as a door prize.
Your donation will help the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society continue to provide an essential service to the people of Greater Vancouver. We encourage donations of merchandise for door-prizes and/or direct, tax-deductible donations, minimum $500, to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. Your donation will have a direct, positive effect on our society. Other benefits of sponsorship include:
- Free admission, excellent networking opportunity
- Organization listed on Chapter’s web page and blog
- Opportunity to display organization’s marketing materials at event, which will have between 150 and 200 business professionals in attendance
- Recognized and thanked in the November and December chapter newsletter
- Recognized and thanked in a speech given at the event
