November EventsAWL 2016 COOKBOOK SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Let’s Get Cooking! AWL Cookbook Fundraiser
We are reaching out to select businesses and individuals in Charlotte County in the hopes that you will consider placing a sponsorship ad in our upcoming Animal Welfare League of Charlotte County's fundraiser cookbook. We offer numerous sponsorship levels and I would be more than happy to provide you with any additional information. We are estimating that there will be a total of almost 400 recipes in the cookbook and our hope is that book sales will generate thousands of dollars for the AWL in the coming years. There are a very limited number of sponsorship opportunities and before we network this opportunity more widely, we are reaching out to members of the Chamber of Commerce. If you are interested either personally or on behalf of your business, please let me know what level sponsorship and I will confirm the space for you. The deadline for submission of advertising creative is November 30th. Please contact Lin Coyle at [email protected] and I will forward you details on sponsorship levels!
