IMPORTANT!!!! REVISED SPONSORSHIP LEVELS

March 20th, 2008

In the process of this first-time fundraising effort and with feedback from industry related companies in SF, we discovered that several companies are unable to participate at the sponsorship levels originally established. We realize that the shrinking economy has affected many industries, especially construction management and architecture.
 
With that said, we have decreased the sponsorship levels significantly to increase participation. We are asking companies to consider a minimum of $1,000 to participate on a team and to receive recognition in pre- and post-promotional materials.
 
The goal of this event, more important than the fundraising itself, is to connect students to industry professionals, celebrate CCSF’s Architecture Department’s 60th anniversary, and have a successful event that draws in a hearty number of participants and spectators.
 
At the $1,000 level, we hope that you will be a part of the celebration and support CCSF Architecture students and department.  If you have thoughts or feedback in the meantime, please feel free to contact Shona at 415/239.3741.

Your Participation is Key!
