SUMMARY:ABVI Crafting Vision Oct 28\, 2021
DESCRIPTION:When someone is diagnosed with a condition that will result in a loss of sight or blindness\, their responses are not only emotional in nature – anger\, frustration\, fear\, and loss – but also include real questions about how to maintain an independent life. Now in our 108th year\, the Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (ABVI) provides vision rehabilitation services to people of all ages with severe vision loss\, teaching them how to remain active and self–sufficient! Here is some “in–cider” information…. Crafting Vision 2021 is coming! This year\, our event takes place on Thursday evening\, October 28\, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM at Vander Mill Tap Room and Restaurant\, 505 Ball\, NE\, Grand Rapids\, 49503. This is a casual\, interactive experience right on the production room floor! There will be hearty appetizer fare\, drinks including hard and soft ciders\, as well as the opportunity to learn more about ABVI… and some surprises! Sound “a–peel–ing?” Your support will help an employee learn how to use adaptive equipment to remain active at work…and the parent cook again for their family when they never thought they would…and the student learn how to use the white cane to be independent and to utilize public transportation…and so much more! We will be delighted to welcome you to Crafting Vision 2021. Attached are sponsorship levels and information about tickets / donations. Simply fill out the form and return it to ABVI by October 18. For questions\, please contact Linda Zizos at 616–458–1187 or lzizos@abvimichigan.org. Thank you in advance for your consideration and support. Looking forward to seeing you in October. \nCIDER MILL SPONSOR | $8\,000 • Ten tickets for guests to attend the event and 1 drink ticket for each • Sponsor’s logo prominently displayed on printed event materials • Sponsor’s logo prominently displayed on invitation • Recognition on organizational and event social media sites • Recognition from the podium during event HARVEST SPONSOR | $5\,000 • Eight tickets for guests to attend the event and 1 drink ticket for each • Sponsor’s logo prominently displayed on printed event materials • Recognition on organizational\, event\, and venue social media sites • Recognition from the podium during event ORCHARD SPONSOR | $2\,500 • Six tickets for guests to attend the event and 1 drink ticket for each • Sponsor listed on printed event materials • Recognition on organizational\, event\, and venue social media sites • Recognition from the podium during event APPLE BLOSSOM SPONSOR | $1\,500 • Four tickets for guests to attend the event and 1 drink ticket for each • Sponsor listed on printed event materials • Recognition from the podium during event INDIVIDUAL TICKETS | $60 each – includes 1 drink ticket Individual tickets to the event will be available through ABVI and website www.abvimichigan.org beginning September 24th. \nS P O N S O R S H I P C O M M I T M E N T SPONSOR INFORMATION Contact Name: _________________________________________________________________ Company Name: _______________________________________________________________ Street Address: ________________________________________________________________ City\, State\, Zip: ________________________________________________________________ Phone: ________________ Fax: ______________ Email: ______________________________ COMMITMENT LEVEL  Cider Mill Sponsor | $8\,000  Harvest Sponsor | $5\,000  Orchard Sponsor | $2\,500  Blossom Sponsor | $1\,500  Individual Tickets | $60.00 Number of Tickets _____________ Total Purchase_______________ PAYMENT DETAILS  I have enclosed a check (payable to the Association for the Blind & Visually Impaired)  Please charge my credit card MasterCard VISA AmEx Discover Card Credit Card Number: _____________________________ Expiration Date: __________ Signature: _______________________________________ Security Code: ___________ For full sponsorship benefits\, please return form by October 18 to Linda Zizos: 456 Cherry Street SE | Grand Rapids\, MI | 49503 Or email form to: linda.zizos@maryfreebed.co
