On Saturday, October 25, 2008, the Green Light Team of Medaille College will host “Project Green Light,” a Western New York Student Leadership & Recycling Symposium. As the much anticipated event draws near, we are in the process of raising funds to make Project Green Light a success! Therefore, we invite your organization to be part of this regional event aimed at developing the leaders of tomorrow. Please consider a financial contribution to support this worthwhile event.
Project Green Light will provide student leaders an opportunity to develop initiatives that will introduce a sustainable recycling effort on area college campuses. Teams of 3-5 students and one advisor from the region’s 17 colleges and universities will come together to investigate a recycling challenge they face in their school. Since student leadership is central to fulfilling the goals of this event, the intent of Project Green Light is to develop student leaders and train them to use creative problem solving to cause change on their individual campuses.
The Green Light Team is an environmental group started by students and faculty at Medaille College and concerned citizens. Our mission is to promote green initiatives at area campuses in Western New York, with the ultimate goal of changing government policy and to create a culture of environmental responsibility on college campuses. Project Green Light will bring students from Western New York together in an effort to make real and lasting changes in their campus communities as well as the Western New York region.
Please take a moment to review our Sponsorship Opportunities and then fill out the accompanying commitment forms. As a sponsor of this event, your gift will subsidize the cost of lunch, student project stipends, marketing materials, and registration packets. There is the opportunity to display your firm’s name and/or logo at the registration area, meeting signage, in the program, on the conference name badge and folder, and in press materials. In order to ensure the success of the project, a verbal commitment would be kindly appreciated by August 10, 2008.
We hope you will join us at the event here at Medaille College. This will be a wonderful opportunity for your organization to interact with highly motivated undergraduate students that possess the leadership skills to become change agents in our society.
