Breakfast Fundraiser Sponsorship

What

Each year, Megaphone comes together providing meaningful work to people experiencing poverty and homelessness. We’ll gather with the Megaphone community to celebrate the positive change that vendors make every day. We present the Vancouver Vendor of the Year Award to one incredible vendor, and host an inspiring conversation between Megaphone’s Executive Director and a community leader.

An inspiring breakfast with a community that made it possible to provide meaningful work to people experiencing poverty and homelessness in Vancouver and Victoria.

Why

· To celebrate the power of building community through small, everyday acts.

· To honor the Vendor of the Year.

· To give our supporters a chance to see what is possible because they gave vendors a chance to contribute.

· To break bread with the people that inspire us and bring us hope.

Where & When

· Beginning of November each year

· Held at the Vancouver Public Library

· Join over 200 guests including Megaphone vendors, volunteers, donors and supporters

BRINGING THIS TO LIFE

What We bring:

The community, the promotion, vendor support and the heavy lifting.

While this will be a team effort in so many ways, Megaphone will take care of the heavy lifting, the pre-and-post launch event, and sales season promotional strategy and execution, access to our community, and then working together to spread the content we capture across B.C.

· Event planning and execution

· Promotion of the event

· Coordination of inspirational community leader

What We Need:

A group of partners committed to working together toward this vision:

While we will take care of the heavy lifting and execution, this will need to be a unified effort among some of Vancouver’s greatest companies and organizations:

· Cover funding for hard costs (breakfast)

· Funding to pay contributing low-income writers

· Fund the reading event

· Mutual drive to give marginalized people a voice
