Sponsors receive great recognition and benefits!
Sponsorship is a great way to promote your business and support CASA Latina at the same time. Sponsorship of the CASA Latina 2010 La Fiesta del Sol provides your organization with a unique opportunity for valuable exposure and recognition among our diverse community of supporters. Event sponsorship is also an opportunity to reach out and celebrate the growing Latino community, and to build upon the community's many economic and cultural strengths.

Sponsoring La Fiesta del Sol will help your company or business to:
• Generate new leads/clients
• Create awareness - visibility/branding
• Increase brand loyalty
• Demonstrate thoughtful leadership by your organization in the community
• Showcase community responsibility
• Provide a good return on investment

We offer several different levels ranging from $1,000-$10,000, and look forward to working with you to create a customized plan to best meet your company's goals, needs and priorities. We want to create ongoing partnerships, not event-only benefits. You can download an auction sponsorship packet here: 2010 Sponsor Benefits.pdf or for more information contact Jill Rose, Development Director, at jill@casa-latina.org or 206-956-0779 x114.
