Dear <<Name>>,

Lansing‘s Old Town Business & Art Development Association (OTBADA) is a 501(c)3

tax-exempt nonprofit organization committed to providing quality arts programming to the

community and dedicated to the preservation of Old Town’s historic buildings and

character. Through the Lansing JazzFest, Old Town BluesFest, Banyan Art Gallery, and

other events, OTBADA aims to culturally enrich our unique community and to create an

open space for people to come together and celebrate. The gallery, festivals, and other

events continue to grow thanks to dedicated volunteers and the generous contributions

of sponsors, but there is still a significant need for support. Your contribution will not only

help improve the quality of life in Lansing, it will also provide great exposure for your

business. Sponsors are endorsed throughout both festivals, in promotional materials and

signage, and also receive special perks for enjoying the events. As the festivals’

attendance, over 20,000 people per weekend, continues to grow through sponsor

support, so do potential advertising opportunities.

Your charitable contribution to OTBADA will assist in improving the following events and

services:

Lansing JazzFest and Old Town BluesFest: These FREE festivals

bring

national, regional, and local acts to an audience of over 20,000 people from

across Michigan and nearby states.

In the streets of Old Town, audiences are

surrounded by the best of the Capital City's art galleries as well as unique retail

stores and grand architecture.

Banyan Gallery: This nonprofit gallery provides quality artwork at reasonable

prices in an authentic gallery atmosphere. Banyan’s focus is in promoting

Michigan artists, and art is displayed

in a wide variety of media, including

paintings, photographs, sculpture, glass, pottery, pastels, cloth, paper, and

mixed-media works.

Burning Desire Poetry Event:

This annual event, held the weekend before or

after Valentine's Day, offers a delightful afternoon of love poetry from up to a

dozen Michigan poets.

Your generosity is a direct contribution to the revitalization of our unique community and

an invaluable opportunity to showcase your business.
