SPONSORSHIP PACKET
SPONSORSHIP PACKET
National Sponsor:
Dear Community Partner,
An exciting national event is coming to Madison, and we would like your support to make it a success. The Department of Veterans Aff airs (VA) has selected the William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital to host the 34th National Veterans Golden Age Games (NVGAG) June 22-27, 2020.
The National Veterans Golden Age Games are the premier senior adaptive rehabilitative program in the United States and the only national seniors program designed to improve the quality of life for all senior Veterans, including those with a wide range of abilities and disabilities. The Games provide a multi-event sports and therapeutic recreation program for military Veterans 55 years of age and older who receive care through any VA medical facility. Throughout the week more than 800 men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States of America and defended our country with honor and dignity will compete, right here in Madison!
We invite you to be a part of this exciting national event by becoming an individual or corporate/organizational sponsor. Committed volunteers through our local and national sponsorships are essential in providing a memorable experience for those Veterans participating in the Games. If you are unable to be in attendance, but would still like to contribute, you may make a financial or in-kind donation that will be acknowledged at the commensurate sponsorship level as identified in the enclosed package.
Our Nation’s heroes have placed our security and freedom before their own lives. Their sacrifi ces create a debt that America can never fully repay. Your generous gift helps demonstrate our appreciation and will make the 2020 National Veterans Golden Age Games a memorable and significant experience for all involved. Your support of the NVGAG will ensure a very successful event for Veterans from around the country as well as our local community.
For more information regarding individual and/or corporate/organizational sponsorship opportunities, please contact me at [email protected] or by phone at 608-280-7073.
Sincerely,
Adam Howarth, Sponsorships Chair2020 NVGAG Local Organizing Committee
