The second annual North Haven Education Foundation (NEHF) Adult Spelling Bee has been scheduled for April 28. The foundation’s board of directors has developed the following description of benefits for a presenting sponsorship for the Adult Spelling Bee. Since the advantages to the sponsor are many, and all proceeds go toward improving education opportunities for children, the fee was set at $5,000.

The presenting sponsor (title sponsor) of this event will receive the following benefits: naming rights to the event: e.g. “The North Haven Education Foundation Adult Spelling Bee proudly presented by [Your Company]”; media recognition in all advertising placed by NHEF, Inc., prior to the event, including the education foundation’s Facebook page and website; recognition in publicity flyers to parents in all four of the town’s elementary schools, reaching more than 3,000 households in North Haven; recognition will be included on event posters distributed and displayed in the Town Hall, schools, and many area businesses in the weeks preceding the event. In addition to the name of the presenting sponsor and its logo on all flyers, notices, and advertising prior to the event, recognition on site at the Adult Spelling Bee will include public display of a presenting sponsorship banner on stage at the event; recognition on the front cover of the event program, a full page ad in the program, and recognition by the emcees on the evening of the event (held at the high school); Adult Spelling Bee team of sponsor’s choice participates at no additional expense; representative of sponsor’s company will co-present the winning trophy; special acknowledgment in press coverage following the Adult Spelling Bee.
