Dear Business Owner/Operator:

We at A3D, Incorporated are very excited to offer you a sponsorship spot in our upcoming summer festival, Salem CultureFest 2009 – July 25-26.  We have two days of world music, acting, dancing, performers, arts, crafts, vendors, and much MORE.  We are anticipating over 2,000 visitors.  The funds raised from previous Salem CultureFests enabled us to provide 1600 students at the AEDEC School in Dakar, Senegal with a state-of-the-art computer lab and network (the first of its kind in a public school in Senegal) and new desks to give them a comfortable learning environment, and sewing machines to a job training facility (Les 3D) in Porokhane, Senegal to assist young women in becoming self-sufficient.  Funds raised this year at Salem CultureFest 2009 will be utilized to further our efforts to establish a Multicultural Center in Salem, MA, as well as to continue our support of organizations in West Africa.  Also, in keeping with our mission of helping people in need locally as well as globally, we will be donating a portion of all funds raised at CultureFest 2009 to a local non-profit organization.  Past recipients include HAWC and the Foundation for Salem Public Education.  Since our entrance into the Salem Chamber of Commerce, we have met local businesses that work towards improving Salem and its citizens.  As a local charity, we would like you to consider sponsoring Salem Culturefest 2009 with us at any of the following levels:
