Through the generosity of our members, the MPI-CAC Holiday Party 2010 was able to raise more than $12,000. We simply couldn’t do it without the much appreciated support of our members, partners and sponsors.

This year, proceeds of the MPI-CAC Holiday Party will benefit the MPI-Chicago Area Chapter to help keep registration fees low and the MPI-CAC Hinton Holiday Fund, which supplies membership and professional education grants to members. Let’s all donate just one thing to help our industry peers.

We understand that you need to dig deeper to donate the prize, and we understand that any gift given has to stretch farther. Thus, in order to mix it up a bit and make sure the bids on your generous donations bring in more money and spread more joy, we off three key areas at the event - Silent Auction, Giving Tree and Target Raffle.

One of our exciting initiatives from last year that was wildly successful was the Target Raffle. What’s a Target Raffle? Raffle participants will be able to throw their raffle ticket into a container by the prizes they want to win, thereby raising the probability of winning a prize they really want and encouraging them to buy more tickets to improve their odds! The ticket holder wins by receiving a prize they really want, the donator wins by seeing the value of their gift rise as tickets are thrown in, and our members win because we’re able to generate more funds!

Examples of donations include:  Airfare  Spa Services  Weekend Packages (hotel/transportation)  Golf Packages/Gear/Attire  Dinners/Brunches  Logo Sportswear  Event Tickets  Services from your organization  Gift Baskets  Any gift you wish to donate  Gift Certificates in support of this worthy cause

Please help us spread the joy by donating a gift today. Just complete this form and submit it to Kelly Wood, The Flower Firm, email: [email protected].

We appreciate your generosity and look forward to seeing you at the Hard Rock Café Chicago on December 14th!  YES! We will support MPI-CAC Holiday Celebration Gift Drive
