HARMONY KINGDOM AND ADAM BINDER COLLECTORS AND SPONSORS

Sponsorship registration deadline was April 15, 2011.

Collectors came together for another gathering of Harmony Kingdom, Peter Calvesbert, and Adam Binder lovers for Fire & ICE, June 23–26, 2011, in the Chicago area. NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), and Heartland Animal Shelter were the benefactors of our efforts. With the help of our donors and sponsors, HOP was able to raise over $140,000 for charity during the five conventions we've hosted.

Our record fundraising is possible only through the generosity of many individuals and dealers, and the support of the Harmony Ball Co. and Adam Binder Editions. While HK and ABE are providing a good portion of the donations we need to make the event a success, collectors and dealers have a significant impact as well. We hope you made a donation and became a sponsor for the Chicago event, Fire & ICE.
 

Blackie and Light My Fire can be yours!

As in previous years, those who support the event by donating items or services were thanked publicly in the Event Program and at the event. Some levels of support also received Light My Fire, the 'Early Bird' figurine. This time we had an extra special 'Thank You' – Blackie – an exclusive color variation of the cat pendant, for sponsors only, that Peter Calvesbert carved for this event!

Here's how you could have gotten these special pieces:

• Buy a Well Wisher Ad. These are small ads that appear in the Event Program. You provide the text – say hello to friends, wish someone a Happy Anniversary or Happy Birthday, or just tell everyone to have a good time at the event. Or, you can combine multiple ad spaces with pictures and other graphics. Each ad is only $10 and will give you the 'right-to-buy' Blackie, for only $25.
• Become a Sponsor. Donate items such as Harmony Kingdom or Adam Binder pieces to be used as prized at the event or items for the Goodie Bags. These donations gave you the ability to obtain the 'right-to-buy' Blackie pendant, for only $25. Sponsorship registration is now closed.

Even if you could not attend the event, you could still have participated as a donor or sponsor, and qualify for Blackie or Light My Fire. You needed to advertise in the Event Program and make donations that were used for fund raisers, and/or the Goodie Bag received by each attendee.

Sponsors received benefits based upon the level of participation. You were able to help in three ways: with donations for our fund raisers; by purchasing ad space in the Event Program; and with items for the Goodie Bags. We had multiple levels of support; each had a different criterion for qualifying and each received different benefits.

To qualify for this level, a sponsor must purchase an ad (a minimum 1/4 page ad – cost $40) and do at least one other option:

• Make a donation of at least $150 retail in collectible items for the charity fund raisers
• Send 150 items for the Goodie Bags, with a value of at least $150 (donation to be approved by the Committee to prevent duplication)

For your support, you will be:

• Listed as a sponsor in the Event Program
• Included on the "Sponsors" posters in the main collector facilities
• Identified as a sponsor on your name badge
• Receive the 'Early Bird" figurine Light My Fire ($75 value) to use in any way you wish
• Have the 'right-to-buy' Blackie, a special color version of the cat pendant (cost $25)
   

PREMIER SPONSOR

To qualify for this level, a sponsor must have an ad (a minimum 1/2 page ad – cost $75) and do at least one other option:

• Make a donation of at least $250 retail in collectible items for the charity fund raisers
• Send 150 item for the Goodie Bags with a value of at least $250 (donation to be approved by the Committee to prevent duplication)
• If a sponsor donates at least $1,000 in items, they receive the 1/2 page ad at No Cost

For your support, the sponsor receives:

• All of the Major Sponsor privileges, plus
• A complimentary Blackie, a special color version of the cat pendant ($25 value) to use in any way you wish
• Your store or organization to be self-included in the slide show presentation that is projected on an 8 foot screen periodically throughout the event
• All Premier Sponsors are included in a drawing for a prototype of one of the event figurines

The Event Program included details of the weekend activities and serves as a reminder of great memories. The deadline to register as a sponsor was April 15, 2011. Donations and ads MUST have been received no later than April 30, 2011.
 

It has been said that life's greatest gift may be the giving of joy to others.
