Dear Valued Sponsor:

Hope this letter finds you well. One of America’s oldest, continually running environmental events is set to celebrate it’s 27th year when Earth Day Omaha returns to Elmwood Park on Saturday, April 16, 2016.

Every year, Earth Day Omaha features over 100 exhibitors, a multitude of children’s activities, demonstrations, speakers and live music from top local bands. Over 100,000 consumers in the Omaha MSA will be exposed to our marketing and advertising and upwards of 8,000 active consumers and their families are expected to attend.

This year’s event will build on that long tradition of success. Building on our new logo and website, we’ve added even more to next year’s event:

• A virtual Earth Day Every Day on our website, so not only will you sponsor the annual event, but you’ll be recognized as a sponsor on our website year round.

• A new “special focus” area within the event -- Home Efficiency -- to join our Vehicle Showcase and Local Foodshed areas.

• Contingencies for inclement weather.

We’d love to have you back again for an Earth Day Omaha sponsorship!

Please find details in the attached Sponsorship Opportunities sheet. Our early deadline this year for sponsorships is January 29, 2016.

We are very excited for another great event and hope you can join us!

If you have any questions, or if we can be of any assistance in this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,

Liz Davis John Heaston Earth Day Omaha Earth Day Omaha Board President Sponsorship & Stage Coordinator
