Opportunities to Sponsor TechFest

http://www.ascdayton.org/TechFest2004/index.htm

Background: 

The core TechFest team from the Affiliate Societies Council has dedicated many hours of creative effort, solved many problems, worked through conflict, and defined many details to create TechFest as a significant event to benefit the youth of the Miami Valley.

Many individuals and companies have volunteered hours and contributed in-kind services to make TechFest happen.

Many companies and individuals have donated items and dollars for handouts and door prizes for the youth.

The generosity of the Engineering and Science Foundation of Dayton, a component fund of The Dayton Foundation, has provided significant seed money to get TechFest rolling.  Note: The Engineering and Science Foundation of Dayton and the Affiliate Societies Council were founded and funded by Eugene W. Kettering in the late 1960’s. 

Need: 

We need your help in inviting youth to attend this fun, educational event. 

TechFest also needs community financial support to assure fiscal stability.  The Affiliate Societies Council TechFest 2004 Project Team has a goal to raise $9,450 to supplement the support by the non-profit Engineering and Science Foundation of Dayton. 

Here are some ways the community (individuals or corporations) can help financially:

$20 pays for a TechFest flyer for each youth in an averaged size school.

$100 gets the TechFest flyer to 5 schools.  $9,000 Total

$332 pays for one day’s advertising to get draw attention to TechFest ($1,328)

$270 pays for one hour of facility rental.

$700 pays for signs and banners to highlight features during the event.

$180 purchases iron-on patches for volunteer staff shirts.

$4.50 pays for refreshments (coffee, soda, bottled water) for one of the 400 volunteers who is sharing their time and talent with the youth of the Miami Valley.

$500 pays for the final program (list of exhibitors, floor plan, show schedules and special event locations) for each attendee.

$500 pays for on-site registration forms.

$6,000 is needed to cover honoraria and expenses of special presenters.
