Dear Friends of the
On behalf of the McKinney Rotary Club, I would like to ask for your support as we put the finishing touches on our 10th Annual Christmas Parade of Lights. The Christmas Parade is quickly becoming a focal point for family entertainment during the holiday season.
This year we have another exciting parade planned. The theme for this year’s parade is “An Old Fashioned Christmas.”
We are currently seeking event and advertising sponsors. Advertisements in our Parade Program will reach thousands of people that gather along the parade route as well as the local readership of the McKinney Courier-Gazette. The Program, which lists all sponsors and parade entrants, is one of the primary ways that we fund the event.
By sponsoring the parade, you not only help defray the production costs, but you also help the McKinney Rotary Club give back to the community. Over the years, the McKinney Rotary Club has made generous contributions to the Samaritan Inn, Holy Family School, Community Food Pantry, McKinney Youth Leadership, MISD Academic Excellence and many other organizations that provide valuable services to McKinney’s residents.
Enclosed you will find our sponsorship tier information and our advertising price list. Please send us either your camera-ready art or a pdf file as soon as possible. The deadline for advertisement submittals is November 13, 2009. If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact Tracy Rath at 214.293.9225 or e-mail tracyrath1839@yahoo.com.
Parade float entry forms can be found on our website: www.mckinneyrotary.org.
Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you at the parade! Note: In order to insure the safety of both parade entrants and spectators we employ
Sincerely,
Tracy Rath
McKinney Rotary Club
