Second Annual
Trade Show
Sponsorship Package
Dear Friends,
As a corporation dedicated to the health and welfare of our community families, you are invited to participate in
the 2nd annual Growing Up Health Trade Show coming to the Family Centre in Kitchener on May 3, 2015.
Organized by Green Lava Media Inc, we bring together over 75 community resources, local vendors and
engaging speakers with a focus on family health & wellness. We connect families with local agencies and
corporations whose focus is to help them grow and thrive throughout all stages of family development.
We are asking you to consider one or more of our sponsorship opportunities and to become part of an
incredible day filled with trade show displays, key note speaks and of course, access to parents and caregivers
who are looking for the best products and varied services for their family. An introduction at our Trade Show
may bring lifelong commitment to young families seeking the best products and services available in our
community.
In 2014, our show attracted over 75 company and social service trade show booth participants, 600 guests,
and speakers such as Kim Krueger-Kischak, Luisa DeSousa & Michelle Buckner. We offered informative and
diverse speaker topics on everything from eating healthy, to managing stress, to yoga for kids. This is truly an
innovative event bringing together vendors, expert speakers, and support networks that provide healthy
options for every family.
Opportunities for you to be involved (see attached documents for more information) include:
Major Sponsors – Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze

Look who’s coming!
Our target market is young families and the primary attendee is a 27 – 35 year old well educated female with 2
children under the age of 8. Let’s call her Luci! Luci is married and has a combined family income of
$75,000+. She and her husband own their own home (with a mortgage), and more often than not it is their
first. Luci is willing to pay more for premium and healthier products and feels good about purchasing local,
organic and green. Luci enjoys getting out with other families and has lasting positive impressions following
her attendance at Growing Up Healthy Trade Show.
How will families find us?
We will be creating a buzz in the community through our website, poster & flyer blitzes, continual social media
presence. We have built quality professional relationships with dozens of local businesses through our
previously mentioned, monthly Networking Nights and Speaker Series, and our other community events. We
have received extremely positive feedback and event attendance continues to grow. This is a great opportunity
to spread our message and we now have secondary organizations promoting Growing up Healthy to their
networks.
Growing up Healthy has partnered with The Holistic Parent magazine and the third edition of the magazine will
be launching at the event with the event guide as the centre feature. The distribution for the magazine is
Region wide with a lengthy distributor list already in place.
One of our strongest partnerships is with the Not-for-profit organization Life With A Baby which gives us a
direct line to young families in the community. As part of this union the Holistic Parent magazine will be
distributed to all Waterloo Region Life With A Baby members - over 600 local families. The Growing Up
Healthy event directory, which includes the names of all businesses/not-for-profits/organizations that are
