Sponsors

Central Carolina Bank plays a special role in this hunger relief partnership with media sponsors. A generous grant from CCB helps to underwrite all administrative costs, including the cost of printing and mailing. In addition, it pays for the posters and table tents that identify the participating restaurants and for the 15,000 flyers listing those restaurants, which are distributed to Triangle churches, civic groups, schools, and businesses to publicize RSVVP. This sponsorship allows all money raised by the RSVVP event to go directly to the Triangle agencies that provide the hunger relief programs.

SA Boney & Associates (919-542-7108), a healthcare market development consulting firm, is RSVVP's newest sponsor. By providing a supplemental grant, SA Boney & Associates ensured that all funds donated by the participating restaurants goes directly to the Durham Community Kitchen, the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina, and the Inter-Faith Council for Social Service.

Fairway, a new sponsor this year, has provided space on four of its 300-square-foot billboards in the Raleigh/Durham metro area to promote the 2004 RSVVP event. These billboards encourage residents of the Triangle and those traveling through our community to fight hunger by dining at participating restaurants on RSVVP Day. The billboards will be posted the first half of November in the days leading up to the event.

ABC 11 has produced public service announcements to promote the 2004 RSVVP event as part of its continuing sponsorship of RSVVP. These spots encourage viewers in the Triangle and surrounding communities to help fight hunger by patronizing restaurants that display RSVVP posters. The spots will run numerous times between November 10th and 16th.

Once again, Curtis Media lends powerful support to RSVVP with the help of its popular stations Star 102.9 and La Ley. These stations will place a total of thirty 30-second spots which will be broadcast throughout the days leading up to RSVVP Day. In addition, Curtis Media will be conducting live, on-air interviews with chefs and restaurant owners on Tuesday, November 9th. Curtis Media will also be posting links to a list of participating restaurants.

WCHL 1360, one of the original sponsors of RSVVP, will air 30-and 60-second PSAs prior to the event, supported by weekly interviews during its morning show, Chapel Hill-Carrboro Today. WCHL 1360 will also broadcast live from a participating restaurant on the day of the event.

The Herald-Sun and The Chapel Hill Herald, your trusted and essential sources for daily local news, are long-time loyal supporters of the RSVVP event and will serve as print media sponsors for 2004. Ads will appear in the Herald-Sun and other products as a part of their continued commitment. The Herald-Sun and its employees have supported the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina, the Inter-Faith Council for Social Service, and the Durham Community Kitchen for many years and are proud of their commitment to their community.
