To date it is one fo the largest media events in Canada. Ive been told that there will be around 300 hours of tape during the event that will be aired. For sponsorship we are doing rink boards at 2500 each . I would LOVE it of the council members could come out and help volunteer! Maybe you can let the sp news know when that is possible and keep me posted so I can be sure to not be sleeping on a break. Thanks again!

From: Linda Osinchuk [mailto:Osinchuk@strathcona .ab.ca] Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2011 8:49 AM To : Brent Saik Subject: Re: Alberta Cancer Foundation - World's Longest Hockey Game 2011 Dr. Saik: Mayor Osinchuk has asked her fellow Council members for their consideration of a priority fund donation to the World's Longest Hockey Game . Councillor's have asked a few questions and I was hoping I could impose upon you for some clarification . 1. Your estimate of the number of spectators who stop by throughout the
event.
2. Will you need logos or business cards for promotional materials from
Council?
I believe you and the Mayor have also discussed a potential time when
Council may come out to assist with serving hot chocolate or something
similar. The Mayor was thinking that a Saturday might be best as Council's
schedule is quite heavy at this time of year. What are your thoughts on
what would work best for your event?

Honorable Linda Osinchuk,
Thanks for expressing interest in getting involved in the game this year!!
The county has always been very helpful in letting me place this event at my
home. In the past we have never really marketed the county and I think as
this event has grown to exponential proportions it would be amazing to get
strathcona involved! I left a link telling our story. For this game we are
trying to raise 1 million dollars . There are lots of sponsor opportunities
that might fit or if need be we can invent a new package for you.
Please don't hesitate to call me of you have any questions. 4173003
Thanks again for considering this!!!! This community has already been more
than gracious in helping me out. No better place to live and have this type
of fund raiser!
