Corporate Sponsorship
The 2009 Annual South End Garden Tour, our 16th, is set for Saturday, June 20th. The Tour is a major neighborhood event and is becoming recognized as being the best in Boston. The Garden Tour is the major fundraiser for the Land Trust—a community-based organization established to protect community gardens and pocket parks in the South End and Lower Roxbury. More than 800 garden lovers enjoyed the 2008 Tour—a new record for the Tour.
The success of the Garden Tour—our biggest fundraiser—ensures the work of the Land Trust continues to benefit the local community. We at the Land Trust are entrusted with providing clean, healthful, safe, and beautiful gardens throughout this historic neighborhood. Our efforts provide this city neighborhood with the balance of open spaces and greenery. Your sponsorship of this fundraiser for the Land Trust will allow your organization to show its appreciation and community goodwill.
The benefits to a $1,500 sponsor include the following:
• Excellent opportunity to show support for the local community, the Land Trust and its community gardens
• Great exposure through Garden Tour articles/advertisements which have in the past appeared in the New York Times, Boston Globe, Back Bay Courant, South End News, Boston.com, and other Garden magazines
• Publicity through company name and logo displayed on 200 posters, 1000+ Tour Booklets, Tour tickets, in all advertisements and on the Tour website www.southendgardentour.org
• Separate 11x17 banner at the Tour tent/ticketing area in front of the South End Branch of the Boston Public Library
• Full-page ad ($400 value) in the Tour booklet
• 8 Tour tickets ($160 value)
Please consider how a corporate sponsorship of the South End Garden Tour can benefit your organization and expose your business to new and existing clients.
Sincerely,
