MATA AMRITANANDAMAYI CENTER
September, 2015
Dear Sir/Madam,
In June of 2016 our charitable organization will be holding an event at a Hotel near LAX with over
10,000 expected attendees. Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (Amma), an internationally renowned
humanitarian leader and spiritual teacher, will lead the programs. The programs are spiritual
gatherings during which individuals will spend time with Amma. As part of the event, free Program
Guides will be distributed to all attendees as a keepsake.
To help support this event and Amma’s humanitarian activities, we are contacting individuals and
business owners who may be interested in advertising in this Program Guide. The vast majority of
attendees will be from the Los Angeles area, the Valley, San Diego, Orange County, Inland Empire,
Santa Barbara and neighboring areas, many of whom are interested in holistic health and spirituality.
Placing an ad in the Guide is a wonderful opportunity to reach out to these individuals. In addition to
the above mentioned event, the program guides will be displayed and given out at our various events
throughout the year, thus giving our advertisers and sponsors additional opportunities for exposure.
Please visit http://ammatour.getacustomsite.com/home.html to view a sample program guide from
previous years. The 2017 guide will follow a similar format with all the ads in color. Deadline for
placing local advertisement and payment is February 25, 2016.
Additional opportunities exist for advertising on a national scale. National ads will be viewed by over
75,000 individuals across the country and are an effective means of reaching large numbers of people
in diverse regions. The events are being held in the following ten (10) cities – Seattle, WA; San
Ramon (Bay Area), CA; Los Angeles, CA; Albuquerque, NM; Dallas, TX; Atlanta, GA; Chicago, IL;
Washington DC; New York, NY; and Boston, MA. The deadline for placing national
