Signature Events
Growing in attendance every year, The AIDS Council's special events are vibrant, exciting affairs that will bring your company maximum exposure at an affordable investment level. Our signature events include:

• Beaujolais Nouveau Wine Celebration
• Dining Out for Life®
• Columbia County Garden Party 

Publicity for Sponsors
Sponsors will be introduced to over 6,000 households through our event invitations and are listed in over 1,200 programs handed out at the events and used throughout the year as marketing materials for the AIDS Council. Sponsors also receive prominent placing in all media advertising and publicity. The AIDS Council also receives local media coverage during the events.

Community Recognition
Did you know that 78% of adults are more likely to buy a product associated with a cause they care about? The same Cone/Roper survey also found that 62% adults would switch retailers to support a cause they care about and 66% would switch brands! This is your chance to show that your organization cares about the community and expand your customer base at the same time!

Extensive Marketing and Advertising Opportunities
Your company will be listed along with other distinguished organizations within the local business community at the event and through our extensive marketing campaign. Last year, our event sponsors received sponsor acknowledgement in the Times Union, in cable advertising provided by Time Warner Cable, through our Radio Sponsors, and in various print media including Capital Region Living, QNortheast, Metroland, commUNITY, and A&U Magazine (nationally distributed).

Complimentary Tickets
Our signature sponsorship packages include special event tickets which make great employee incentives or client/customer appreciation gifts.
