2015 Chinese New Year celebration gala sponsorship
Dear Friends,
To
promote greater
multicultural awareness on the basis of supporting cultural tolerance,
creating a culturally vibrant community and fostering an increased support
amongst residents within the local community,
the Orange County Chinese Association Inc. (OCCA) is
preparing for
the 2015 Chinese New Year celebration gala
on February 14, 2015 at 2:00pm
at the Central Valley Elementary School in Central Valley, New York.
Though we have raised some
funds for our event, we need your support
to pay for other
necessary expenses.
The
celebratory
event will provide
a culturally enriching day of programs for the community to celebrate the
most important time of year in the Chinese culture - the annual Chinese
New Year celebration. The
Chinese New Year celebration project comprises of performances filled with
traditional Chinese cultural heritage from the students of the Orange
Country Chinese School and professional adults. Community
volunteers come together with professional artists to host a celebration
as a family-oriented event, open to the public - a dinner celebration is
included in the project, where food is both brought in from attendees and
a local catering business.
We
anticipate over 350 people attending this event. We are hoping that our
project might be of interest to you as an opportunity to promote your
products and company through a sponsorship arrangement. We can offer a
variety of sponsorship methods to suit your budget, for example: If
you support us, we will include you in the program brochure, to our
website, to our Newsletter, and plan on recognizing your organization at
our event.
1.
Platinum ($500) Sponsorship - we would reserve for
you a full page back cover advertising space

2. Gold ($400)
Sponsorship - we would
reserve for you a full page advertising space
in the event brochure.
3. Sliver ($200) Sponsorship -

Dear
All OCCA members,
A quick update of today's OCCA Donation event for Sichuan Earthquake Victims:
First of all, I would like to thank you for your showing-up and your generous
support, which once again, like support of 911 victims, demonstrates the
passion and strength of our community.
The outcome of today's event is magnificent and fruitful,
from 9:30AM to 13:30 PM, just three hours, a total of $4576.00 monetary
donations were collected plus employer's gift-matching $500 to be received.
These are totaled about $5076.00.
OCCA board decided to make additional matching donation of about $1000.00 in
such to make total monetary donation of $6,000.00 to the earthquake victims.
OCCA issues a check of $6000.00 payable to Chinese Consulate General in New
York for Earthquake Relief Donation. On Monday May 19, the check will be handed
in to the Consul of Chinese Consulate General in New York by one of our OCCA
member Mr. Zhu, who will be applying his Visa to China on Monday. A formal
receipt of earthquake relief donation is expected to receive and I will keep
you posted on this.
Special thanks to the students in Chinese School who donated their allowances
from few dollars to tens as they want to show their cares and sympathy to the
students in the earthquake area. Also the thanks to Orange
County School of Dancing who donates $100. Heung/Xiangyu
Cheng (New York Buffet) donate $1000, Lu Ping/Eunice Yun
donate $500, Jinlin Du/Yujuan
Zhao donate $500, Jimmy Cheung/Yul Chen donate
$300?and there are more on the list.
For the OCCA issued receipts, please ask if any gift-matching program you can
be entitled to and OCCA will facilitate the requirement if this is doable in
your case.
If, for some reason, you could not make today appearance and would like to make
a contributuion, please do let us know and we will
add them up to the total.
All are appreciated deeply and we wish our effort can make little contribution
to the earthquake victims.
