The Eid Festivals provide Muslim Communities across the country an opportunity to celebrate their two major holidays: Eid Al Fitr
and Eid Al Adha. The Festivals are full day events starting with a large congregational prayer, followed by a day of family fun,
entertainment, world class cuisine, bazaar and an exciting program. MAC would like to invite you to support one or both of these
grand celebrations that have become a fabric of Canada's heritage and multicultural mosaic.
In addition, on Saturday, August 2nd 2014, the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) will celebrate its largest annual multicultural
event, the 14th annual Muslim Summer Festival (Web Site: www.MuslimSummerFestival.com). MAC would be delighted to
have you provide support this unique and amazing event as one of a select number of sponsors.
We make every effort to maximize exposure for our sponsors so that you may take advantage of one or more of these unbelievable
opportunities to reach out to our diverse community. (See tables 2-4 on pages 4-6 for our sponsorship packages and pricing).
We hope to have your support for one or more of these great events. Please do not hesitate to direct any inquiries regarding
sponsorship directly via email or phone, as indicated at the top right of this invitation letter and we look forward to seeing you at the
festival.
