Sponsorship Support

Our fundraising campaign seeks to raise $750,000 to cover the costs of product acquisition, shipping materials, delivery costs and other necessary expenditures to fund gifts for each child of New England and New York's military personnel. In 2007, over 99.9% of all funds raised went directly to the cost of the gift with less than .1% spent on administering the Program. The administrative costs in 2007 went solely to website and phone line charges. There are no paid administrative personnel for the Program. In 2008, we anticipate the same results with no paid administrative staff. We firmly believe that the money raised be used to honor the sacrifice and bravery of the children of the military families living in New England and New York. The Program will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis and gifts will be provided based upon the availability of funds raised therefore please give generously to help support our efforts in recognizing these true American patriots.

We currently have a number of corporate sponsorship opportunities available to help market your involvement with this worthwhile cause including on-air sponsorships, mention in our newsletter that is currently distributed to over 50,000 donors and recipients. With the expansion of the Program throughout New England and New York in 2008, our distribution list is expected to surpass 200,000 resulting in extensive exposure for our corporate donors. With a YouTube advertisement set to air in July produced by the award-winning director Jeff Toorish which will also air on CBS and a new MySpace page, maximum exposure is assured for our sponsors.
