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 .
