Ismail Sirdah’ Guide To Landing Event Sponsorships
For Ismail Sirdah the hardest parts about hosting an event is figuring out how to fund it. Booking a venue, hiring entertainment, and promoting an event are all extremely costly. Thus, you need to have a plan in place to finance something of this magnitude. That is where event sponsorship comes in.
DULUTH, Ga., June 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — If you want to land event sponsors, then crafting a thoughtful sponsorship proposal is a must. Ismail Sirdah of Lulu Promotions recommends treating your proposal like you would a great cover letter. All great cover letters are written specifically for the job you are applying for, as should be the case with sponsorship proposals. A good chunk of each proposal you create should be tailored to the sponsor you hope to land. Drafting a sponsorship proposal that is broad and vague is not going to attract anyone says Ismail Sirdah
KNOW HOW TO INCENTIVIZE SPONSORS
Almost no event sponsor is going to agree to a sponsorship deal where they’re providing their brand, money, and possibly even gift bag items, without getting anything in return. That is where incentives come in. Ismail Sirdah, founder and owner of Lulu Promotions in Duluth, Georgia, claims that the best way to incentivize sponsors is to offer them marketing in exchange for their sponsorship. Marketing materials are key to attracting customers to any business. Make marketing a key part of your sponsorship negotiations. For example, in exchange for being an event sponsor, you can offer to put their name or logo on all professional banners and flyers, mention the event sponsor in all blogs, social media posts, or e-mail blasts about the event, or even give the sponsor a free both at a future trade show or exhibition.
BE PREPARED TO PARTNER UP
If you’re a small brand, then you’re likely going to have more trouble landing event sponsors, especially if you’re looking to get a few more established businesses on board. When Ismail Sirdah first founded Lulu Promotions in Georgia, he scoured all of Dekalb County looking for event sponsors and it wasn’t always easy. However, along the way he learned that one trick to land yourself a major event sponsor is to team up with another company in the industry. One small company on its own likely will not be attractive to a major brand, but partnering with a medium-sized company in your industry can totally change this. More established brands ultimately instill more confidence. So, if you can get a well-known brand on board to host the event with you, you will be much better off during your hunt for event sponsors. Ismail Sirdah recommends looking for companies that are within your industry but that aren’t your direct competitors.

Events guide: Canada Day 2022 in the Vancouver area
Canada Day events are back after a pandemic-prompted hiatus, and several parties are planned for the Vancouver area.
Here’s a quick look at some of the celebrations planned for July 1, which is a Friday this year, starting with events that include fireworks.
SURREY
The City of Surrey hosts one of the region’s biggest events, and this year’s schedule includes activities recognizing the area’s Indigenous history, as well as performances from local artists.
The city says there will be more than 30 food trucks parked near the Bill Reid Millennium Amphitheatre, as well as 16 rides, 18 vendors and 30 live musical performances.
The headliner this year is the Canadian rock band Arkells.
Surrey’s Canada Day includes fireworks starting at 10:15 p.m.
BURNABY
This year, Burnaby is hosting what it’s calling “StreetFest,” an event that includes food trucks, family-friendly activities and live performances.
Three-time Juno Award winner k-os is the party’s headliner, and there will also be shows from Bif Naked and Alex Cuba.
Fireworks start at 10 p.m.
COQUITLAM
The City of Coquitlam is promising fireworks too, following a day of multi-cultural programing at Town Centre Park.
The schedule also includes family-friendly activities such as face painting, a scavenger hunt and “exciting, quick and fun active games.”
ABBOTSFORD
Celebrate Canada in Abbotsford with fireworks at 10, following a day of family activities, a food truck festival, parade and live performances.
VANCOUVER
Revellers who choose to stay in the city won’t be treated to fireworks at Canada Place this year. The venue said the pandemic made things too uncertain to commit to the costs associated with the fireworks themselves, as well as safety and security measures.
There are still plans for an in-person event on the waterfront though, with a theme of diversity and togetherness.
Vancouver‘s headliner is country singer Johnny Reid, and the plans also include performers from local First Nations.
There are a couple family-friendly “zones” with exhibits and entertainers, as well as a section dedicated to the Canadian Forces, and several food trucks.
WEST VANCOUVER
West Vancouver has plans for a full-day kids’ zone, as well as hours of live music and other performances.
NORTH VANCOUVER
Residents of North Vancouver can check out Shipbuilders Square for live performances, food, a beer garden and “good times for all ages.”
RICHMOND
In Richmond, Canada Day also means the annual Steveston Salmon Festival.
Attendees can take in storytelling, demonstrations and activities, and while there’s no parade this year, there will be “festival zones” in the village.
DELTA
The party in Delta happens at Diefenbaker Park, where there will be cake, entertainment, hot dogs and face painting.
PORT COQUITLAM
The party in PoCo starts with a pancake breakfast and fishing derby at Lions Park, followed by events including a “grand finale pyro musical” at Castle Park.
PORT MOODY
Canada Day in Port Moody is part of its Golden Spike Days Festival, and this year will include music, “family fun” and crafts.
The city’s July 1 event also includes band 54-40 as its headline performer.
WHITE ROCK
In Memorial Park in White Rock, Canada Day by the Bay includes local live entertainment, family-friendly events and vendors.
NEW WESTMINSTER
Canada Day in New West this year includes concerts at Ryall and Westminster Pier parks, painting and yoga at Queen’s Park, drumming at Moody Park, and events through the weekend across the city.
PITT MEADOWS
A pancake breakfast, dog show, eating contest and performances including a magic show are all part of Canada Day in Pitt Meadows.
MAPLE RIDGE
Residents of Maple Ridge can celebrate with food trucks, a beer garden, activities and entertainment at Memorial Peace Park. There’s a dog photo contest, laser tag, a climbing wall, mini golf, pony rides, scavenger hunt, farmers market and more.
LANGLEY
The Township of Langley is holding this year’s Canada Day festivities at the Aldergrove Athletic Park.
There will be live entertainment, family-friendly activities, exhibits and resources to help Indigenous people and non-Indigenous Canadians “move forward together in a good way.”
BOWEN ISLAND
Canada Day on Bowen Island has a theme of “reconciliation, celebration and community.” It’ll be a day of all-ages activities, learning opportunities, food, music and fun, the municipality promises.

Charity ride for guide dogs makes big return to southwestern Ontario
A group of motorcycles made their way from Oakville to Breslau on Saturday to raise money for guide dogs through the Lions Foundation of Canada.
The foundation provides dogs for people with medical and physical disabilities to help empower them to a life of independence.
The Ride for Dog Guides event is a way to raise money for the foundation in order to pay for the $35,000 price tag that comes with raising and training of dog guides.
“We rely on donors and fundraising events like the Ride for Dog Guides to help us reach those goals and achieve our mission,” said Andrea Stevens, the manager of events for the foundation.
Due to the pandemic, the event was virtual for two years. Organizers weren’t sure what to expect for the turnout this time, but said the 80 riders that signed up this year was more than in 2019.
One of the ride participants and lead fundraisers from the event, Robert Stanley, said he has seen the impact dog guides have had on people’s lives.
“I’ve just been very fortunate to see that and once you do it, you want to get involved,” said Stanley. “I love motorcycling, so of course I’m going to want to ride, but seeing that the money is going to such an important cause, that’s got me.”
Stanley has raised over $80,000 through donations for the foundation since he started participating in 2016. A dog guide was named after Stanley to recognize his contributions to the foundation.
Alex, an 11-year-old boy living with autism, now has the dog. Stanley said he has seen how the dog guide has made an impact in Alex’s life.
“They’ve given the honour of showing me the changes in Alex over those two to three years that he’s had Stanley and he’s a different boy,” said Stanley.
According to Alex, his canine companion Stanley has been a big help.
“Since my dog has been at school, I’ve gotten a lot more help,” said Alex. “Every time I am going bed, he helps me usually before I go to bed, because I’m usually afraid of the dark sometimes.
“He helps me get through tough times.”
Stevens said the pandemic has hindered how many dogs are available, but this year they are hoping to provide at least 150 dog guides to people like Alex.

City of Victoria launches CityVibe guide to summer events, festivals – Saanich News
A handy online guide for summer events in the city of Victoria has returned.
CityVibe is the City of Victoria-produced virtual guide for free events, summer festivals, arts and cultural activities, museums, galleries and public markets.
“Victoria is such a lively and exciting place to be in the summer, and there is a pent-up demand for people to be out and about enjoying the city,” Mayor Lisa Helps said in a release. “After two summers of scaled-back gatherings, we are thrilled to be back with a bigger and even better roster of live music, festivals, markets and arts and cultural activities for residents and visitors to enjoy.”
The guide showcases nearly 40 festivals and outdoor events and more than 100 free outdoor music concerts and activities at various spots downtown including Fort Common, Broad Street Pedestrian Zone, Centennial Square, Fisherman’s Wharf Park and Cameron Bandshell in Beacon Hill Park.
Posts on the city’s social media pages, as well as handbills and posters distributed at local community and senior centres, the Victoria Visitor Centre on Wharf Street and city hall will also promote the events. Limited printed copies of the CityVibe guide are also available at those locations.
Many festivals and events showcased are beneficiaries of the city’s festival investment grant program, which has awarded more than $4 million to local non-profit arts and culture organizations over the past 21 years. Recipients include the Function Festival, a new two-day arts event celebrating Canadian and international BIPOC musicians, as well as longtime community favourites such as Pride Week and Symphony in the Summer.

Summer Guide: Enjoy the variety at weekly food truck events
Food trucks can be found at almost every festival, event and concert throughout the summer. Even better are the weekly series you can count on where food trucks are the star, not a supporting player. These events have an array of anywhere from five to 24 trucks or so a week, making them a great way to explore new food and beverages. Here are four ongoing food truck events that have been announced so far for the summer.
Food Truck Tuesdays at Larkin Square. 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays through Aug. 30 at Larkin Square (745 Seneca St.). About 24 food trucks from the Buffalo area and Rochester will participate from a rotating cast of 40 businesses. (Check the website each week to see which food trucks are participating.) Each truck will have at least one healthy option, as certified by the Independent Health Foundation. There’s live music, too. Larkin Square has tables and chairs, but you can bring your own seating. There will be more food trucks at nearby Flying Bison Brewery. Patrons are also encouraged to visit the Hydraulic Hearth Beer Garden and Magic Bear Beer Cellar. Food trucks also make an appearance at another of Larkin Square’s weekly events, “Live at Larkin” held from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesdays starting June 8.
