Sponsor a Pilgrim to Armenia!
Hello CYMA-WD Supporters and Sponsors:
2008 marks the 5th anniversary of the CYMA program and this is a very special year coming up!
2008 CYMA will take the largest pilgrimage group of 26 participants to Armenia for 18 days. 2008 also marks the inaugural year of the International ACYO General Assembly taking place in Holy Etchmiadzin, which CYMA-WD participants will participate and represent the Western Diocese.
Your support and sponsorship have taken a key role in our development and growth and we couldn’t have come this far without the generous support of our community. In the last 5 years, CYMA has become the fastest growing youth program in the Western Diocese. The CYMA program is responsible for fundraising its operating budget while also working to subsidize the cost of the trip for its participants. Your support in 2008 is needed more than ever.
We are expanding sponsorship opportunities for a 1 year online sponsorship of the CYMA Program. Your company’s/organization’s logo (with a search engine friendly caption of your business name and location) will link to your company’s homepage and will be available on the CYMA page for one year. This is a great way to get your business’s name out to the community and sponsor the CYMA program. The CYMA website receives high international web traffic with California naturally being the primary hotspot.
For organizations we are taking donations of $250 - $500- $1000. The higher dollar amount will yield a larger logo on our sponsorship page.
For individual sponsors we are offering a similar opportunity (without the logo and link) with amounts starting at $100, $250, $500.
If you are interested in this opportunity and please don’t hesitate to FW this to anyone who might be able to sponsor CYMA this year. A letter on CYMA letterhead explaining our sponsorship program can be provided upon request.
With our super large program this year, we are heavily counting on the support of the Armenian community to help subsidize the cost of the trip to Armenia and the cost of operating the CYMA program.
There is no immediate deadline for this sponsorship opportunity given the one year cycle can start at anytime; however this year’s program begins on July 02, 2008 and we would like your sponsorship to affect this year’s program.
