SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

“And I like Large parties. They’re So intimate…”

- Jordan Baker, Daisy Buchanan’s Childhood Friend, The Great Gatsby

It’s with great excitement that we introduce the Corporate Sponsor offerings for a “large party” sufficient to meet the approval of Mr. Gatsby! Held at The Estate on Piedmont on Saturday, March 21, 2015, “Glamour, Glitz, GATSBY” promises a roaring good time for friends and families of Christ the King School, and a host of exciting exposure opportunities for those businesses and families choosing to sponsor.

As you prepare to channel your inner- Nick Carraway, Jay Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan or Jordan Baker, you’ll want to take a look at this year’s offerings which dovetail on the success of last year’s packages. As is customary, exposure will be commensurate with investment, opportunities will be exclusive at higher levels, and advantages well defined. There is something for everyone – regardless of your budget!

Everything you need to know to pick your sponsor level is here, including detail on early commit discounts and deadlines. Note that the earlier you commit, the MORE exposure you will get. Official exposure starts in early January via the dedicated Gala site and eNews. (Don’t be surprised, if we brag about you in November or December for being one of the first few on board!)

Read on – and after reviewing , if you are clear on the level you will own this year, just fill out the form on the last page of this document and email to [email protected]. Questions? Feel free to call Jennifer at 404.502.8645. Otherwise, expect to hear from us in the coming weeks to discuss your role . “It’s gonna be a gas!” … as Daisy would say!

CKS Gala & Auction sponsors enjoy relevant and real exposure for their brand. Depending on level of participation, Gala & Auction Sponsors will enjoy some, or all of these advantages:

New FOR SPONSORS This Year! tried &true elements plus these New opportunities

• NEW VENUE: This year’s event will be held at The Estate. A historical home that Gatsby himself would have been proud to own (IF he were Southern!). This magnificent setting nestled on 3.1 acres right in the heart of Buckhead couldn’t be more natural for our theme … nor more convenient to our community. It’s a spot sure to draw the right kind of attention for your Gala campaign.

• SUPER PLATINUM: LIGHT POST BANNER OPTION For the first two to claim and commit an additional $750 to their $2750 sponsor investment, ($3,500 total) these Platinum Sponsors will enjoy year round exposure as a supporter of Christ the King School via this unique and tasteful add-on. Banners that line the carpool drive, your company will be recognized as a supporter of Christ the King School for a full year, using a tasteful type treatment. Banners will be visible for the 2015/2016 school year. (Content restrictions apply, subject to approval by the Archdiocese and the Cathedral of Christ the King).

• NEW MOBILE BIDDING – USING ATTENDEES’ OWN PHONES A better looking, more user friendly interface than mobile bidding companies used in years past, this year there’s no more juggling of an additional bidding device AND your phone for Gala bidding. Less juggling means less distraction, and MORE attention to your sponsor exposure rotating on the new mobile bidding platform.

• NEW ADVANCE BIDDING FOR GOLD & PLATINUM SPONSORS: Sponsors at this level will be given early access to the

mobile bidding platform so you can get a jump on your ‘take’ at the event.
