SPONSOR GUIDELINES
( Continued)
Once the donations have been received, we will add their logo to your event as appropriate for the level they have selected. Note: we need company logos in high resolution jpeg, eps, or png format. You will need to get the logo from the sponsor and forward it to us – we cannot use images that are pulled from the web( the resolution is too low).
Event expenses are handled separately from corporate donations, which are not used as funding for the event expenses. BAF will cover all reasonable event expenses that are approved in advance. We prefer to pay directly to the extent that is possible and will reimburse approved expenses that are submitted with receipts and included on the event expense form.
Corporate Sponsorship and In-kind donations are a win / win partnership for all – the event, the companies and the Brain Aneurysm Foundation.

Dear Friend:
I am contacting you on behalf of the Brain Aneurysm Foundation, the nation’ s premiere nonprofit organization solely dedicated since 1994 to providing critical awareness, education, support and research funding to reduce the incidence of brain aneurysm ruptures, based in Hanover, MA. Last year was a special milestone for the foundation as we celebrated our 20 th Anniversary and expanded into Canada as a registered non-‐ profit.
It is estimated that up to 1 in 50 people in the U. S. will develop a brain aneurysm during their lifetime. Brain aneurysms are a silent killer because they often present with no prior symptoms or whose symptoms are often ignored or misdiagnosed. The statistics after a brain aneurysm ruptures are grim: of the 30,000 people that suffer a rupture each year, almost half of the victims will die and of those surviving, only a third will recover without disabilities. While the vast majority of brain aneurysms occur in adults over 40, they can also strike children and young adults, often resulting in death.
On( date) we will be holding( event name) in( event location). We are seeking sponsorship and donations for this upcoming event and we hope you will be able to contribute as a corporate sponsor.
