New Venue, New Charity and New Night Freshen Up Core Cannata Franchise
Slide show from last year’s 28th Annual Awards and Charities Dinner
We are proud to announce our annual awards and charities event is scheduled for Thursday, September 18, at the Meadow Wood Manor in Randolph, New Jersey. Evocative of a large, elegant private home, we feel this new and different venue reflects the true essence of our brand, as well as the friendly nature of the relationships we have with our subscribers and clients. The way we look at, the venue is akin to inviting the industry into our home. We can promise you an evening that you will remember fondly for some time to come.
Another change this year is the scheduling of the dinner on a Thursday evening, as opposed to a Wednesday. We thought planning the event toward the end of the week might make the trip slightly more convenient “” particularly for those who may want to spend Friday, September 19, or the weekend in the New York Metropolitan area for business, pleasure or a combination of both. We also thought a Thursday night will help continue to elevate the energy level of the evening.
Lastly, we have a new charity this year “” St. Ignatius College Prep in Chicago. At a time when our young people are competing with students all over the world for admissions to our nation’s leading universities, this institution is widely recognized as one of the best of its kind. A very dear friend, who is an alumnus of St. Ignatius, drew me to this school. He is a very successful Chicago attorney who clearly stated how this prep school impacted his life. “This where my character was shaped, and my determination to serve others had its roots,” he said.
When you receive your invitation, please note that we are requesting your donation to the charity be directed to St. Ignatius College Prep. If necessary, we can provide you with the requisite W-9.
For the past 28 years, we have been proud to sponsor this annual event that has benefited so many organizations. With all expenses being borne by Marketing Research Consultants LLC, all ticket proceeds and donations go directly to the annually selected charity.
If you are a subscriber and wish to attend, please let us know and we will send you an invitation. The cost of admission “” which goes directly to the charity “” is a $500 donation to St. Ignatius College Prep, which is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
Our signature extended cocktail hour will run from 5:30-7:00 P.M., with dinner to follow afterwards. We look forward to seeing you there.
