Sponsorship Opportunities for Mardi Gras 2010

January 5, 2010
Dear Friends of the Mardi Gras 2010:

The Nevada City Chamber of Commerce will present the annual Mardi Gras celebration on the weekend of February 13 and 14, 2010.  This celebration is organized to have fun and to specifically bring more local people and tourists to downtown during a traditionally slow time of year.
The attendees to the Ball and Parade help bring more money to local area businesses.
The Nevada City Chamber has several Major sponsorship opportunities to help support the Mardi Gras, and this year in addition, we are offering another way to support the Mardi Gras by sponsoring bands in the parade, like the Ophir Prison Band, and Local school bands. In addition, you can help underwrite other expenses incurred by the Nevada City Chamber associated with the costs of putting on this great event.

This year’s Mardi Gras Ball, on February 13 features a Traditional Mardi Gras theme, with colorful costumes encouraged for the Ball. The Music for The Ball is a triumphant repeat performance by local favorites, The Holcomb Brothers Band, with delicious Cajun food fare served during the event.  Tickets are only $10 in advance and may be purchased at The Nevada City Chamber office and other locations to be announced.  On Sunday, February 14 the parade rolls out at 2 pm with floats and marching bands to be enjoyed by all.  A family friendly Street Fare will be held Sunday on Pine Street, sure to be fun for all.

The Mardi Gras Parade and Ball have become so popular that we must provide adequate advertising, security and facilities for attendees. In addition, we pay stipends to the parade bands that perform, and insurance. Frankly, we are always in need of financial support from the business community of Nevada County.  We believe that all commercial and professional businesses benefit when so many local people and out of town tourists visit Nevada City.
We have attached a support menu and ask that you consider any cash donation, including prizes for a raffle to be held during the ball.  

Attached is a donation sheet to assist with your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Dian Glasco,
Mardi Gras Sponsorship Coordinator
