Great e-waste event coming up at Arpin in Oct

We are happy to share news on great events that help the environment and the local economy.  Take a look at this:

"We are happy to announce our newest, biggest event to collect e-waste and approved hazardous waste material, batteries and lots of shredding to protect people identity.  Whether you or someone you know helps sponsor this fun, heavily promoted event, everyone can come that day and bring us electronics, batteries and lots of other materials to properly dispose of and keep out of our landfill, while helping to raise lots of money to keep people warm this winter.

One valuable element of the company-sponsored e-waste event, is that those businesses can bring their e-waste, shredding and approved hazardous waste, no charge, but also get their employees to do the same.  Also, employees and their families, particularly their children who have community service requirements through school, can come work the event that day. 

Companies can display on site that day at Cardi's, which will be our host location for banners, information, refreshments, displays and much more.

Arpin is a major supporter of Artic Mission which is one of the true, grass-roots groups that gets people through difficult transitions and back on their feet.  We are a group that is run by entrepreneurs who give people hand ups, not handouts.  We are on our way to creating our own enterprises that will self-fund most of our growth.

This is truly a business man's non-profit--focused on Corporate social responsibility with economic growth and a transformation of one of the State's most depressed areas--West Warwick.

We have packaged great value into the e-waste fest, and offering that event for free to those annual corporate sponsors.  Again, we deliver tremendous value back to sponsors, with lots of radio, PR, print, posters, on-site visibility, etc, rather than asking for a simple donation.  For companies and estates/trust that like positive PR, this is a great series of events to affiliate with.

We appreciate any help you can give, including promotion and visibility through your contacts, social media and affiliated web sites. Let's get the word out and fill the industrial park that day and raise lots of money for keeping people warm this winter.  And please contact me right away as a corporate sponsor so I can make sure you get proper credit and get a head start on all the activities.  I also want to reserve a spot for you at the Cardi's parking lot if you are planning on setting up a table that day."

Here's more, including contact information.  Also, you can contact them though us to volunteer or sponsor:

THE ARTIC MISSION
The Artic Mission is a non-profit, 501c3

volunteer organization working to

improve the quality of life for the underresourced

and homeless of West

Warwick, RI. The Mission helps clients

overcome addiction, improve general

life skills, and find job and housing

opportunities.

Recently, the Mission has experienced a

tremendous reduction in donations and

grants. With the winter months fast

approaching and Rhode Island’s

unemployment rate hovering at recordsetting

levels, we anticipate the requests

for heating assistance will be at an alltime

high.

To ensure that we can continue to help

those in need, the Mission will be

hosting an e-waste recycling collection

and document shredding fundraising

event on October 22, 2011. The event

will be held at the West Warwick

Industrial Park campus, 99 James P.

Murphy Highway, West Warwick, RI,

from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. All

donations collected will benefit the

Artic Mission’s Heating Assistance Fund.

Currently, we are

seeking corporate

sponsors to help us

promote the event.

With a donation of

$250, your business

will enjoy premium

exposure at this highprofile

event

including:

❖ Special mention as

a participating

sponsor on radio and TV ads.

❖ Logo placement on T-shirts and the

Artic Mission’s website.

❖ Prominent signage at the event with

optional sponsor display space.

All donations made to the Artic Mission

are tax deductible.

We welcome your consideration of this

request. Should you need additional

information, please contact Charlie

Nault by calling (401) 828-9400 or via
