EVENT OVERVIEW
The sponsorship opportunity of the year is here. Make plans today to position your brand at an event that has everyone in town talking about it. Mix and mingle with Hollywood’s best like Kirstie Alley, Brad Garrett, Camryn Manheim, Anne Archer, Jose Canseco, Kate Linder, Dane Cook, Dorian Harewood, Andy Buckley, as well as some of the hottest and most successful poker pros such as co-hosts Jerry Yang (WSOP Main Event Winner 2007) and Mary Jones (WSOP Ladies Event Winner 2006) and longtime supporters Jamie Gold, Jennifer Harman, Men “the Master” Nguyen, Todd Brunson, Sammy Farha, Barbara Enright and Marsha Waggoner. This opportunity is to have your brand in a highly visible position at this prestigious, star-studded event AND to bring your VIP clients and executives, top sales representatives, prospects and friends to the “house that Bart built” for the experience of a lifetime. Join Nancy Cartwright, the iconic voice of Bart Simpson, as Hollywood rolls out the red carpet at her Northridge, CA estate to raise funds for the Boys & Girls Club of the West Valley and Police Activities League Supporters (PALS). Take photos with Nancy in front of a banner bearing your logo, provide signage, samples and more to be seen and enjoyed by the 600+ guests and media. This is the 5th Annual Monte Carlo Night featuring a No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Tournament, casino and party. The momentum for this event builds and the event itself gets bigger and better every year. This fundraiser has helped to raise funds for Devonshire PALS (Police Activities League Supporters) to build a brand new, fully equipped and staffed Youth Center in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, which opened last year. Nancy Cartwright is not only a star in Hollywood, she is a shining star in the community where she has proven to be an active and valuable civic leader and continues to serve as Honorary Mayor of the North Valley for the fifth consecutive year.
