On October 25th, 2008, we will be holding our fall fundraiser, COTERC Fiesta Verde: Project Frog. This event will bring together 120-150 of COTERC’s valued members, family, friends and members of the community who share in our concerns and goals. There will be a silent and live auction, dinner, and educational presentations.

We would like to offer you the opportunity to donate items for the silent and live auction. These auction items are a large contributor to the success at this event. Likewise, any monetary donations that would aid in the funding of the evening’s events would also be greatly appreciated. With your support, COTERC will be able to continue providing leadership in education, research and conservation and the educated use of natural resources in the tropics.

By donating auction or monetary items, you would help to save the world’s rainforests and benefit from:*

• Your name appearing in Raphia
• Your name listed among contributors on our official website
• Exposure to all those who attend the event, which strengthens your reputation among key players in the environmental community
• A charitable tax donation receipt

For those who would like to become a sponsor with a monetary donation of $1,000 or more, we will also place your logo/name on the event’s publicity materials and program, mention your organization as a sponsoring partner in all communications, and provide two tickets to the event.*

Contributions can be forwarded to our head office. Alternatively, you can call us directly to arrange pick-up.

We thank you in advance for your participation and support!

*Any items received on or after October 11 may not be recognized in printed materials but will be acknowledged in Raphia. We reserve the right to save items for the next year’s auction depending upon the breadth and variety of items received. For sponsorships, please inquire as to publication dates to ensure inclusion in marketing materials.
