5 Sponsorship Throughout the year CQ has many sponsorship opportunities. Events range from health seminars, Gluten Free Food Expo as well as activities for children. Coeliac Awareness Week is held from 13 to 20 March each year. Coeliac Queensland usually holds several fundraising/awareness generating events during this week. Sponsorship opportunities are available for these events. The Gluten Free Food Expo, presented by CQ, is held annually in May. Gold, Silver and Bronze sponsorship opportunities are available. Coeliac Queensland also holds an annual Children s Christmas Party in November with excellent sponsorship potential. As part of the celebrations, all children who attend receive a sample bag full of gluten free products. We also post a sample bag to children with coeliac disease in regional and rural areas who are unable to attend the party. We are seeking sponsorship to cover the postage costs of these bags. A sponsorship proposal is available upon request. Please contact the office about these and other current sponsorship opportunities. All sponsorship enquiries to be made through: Glen Harriss Executive Officer Phone cqeo@coeliac.org.au Advertising policy Coeliac Queensland reserves the right to evaluate all statements in advertisements and reserves the right to reject any advertising that does not conform to the following: 1.

Advertising is to be clearly distinguishable from the text. Where an article accompanies the advertisement, it will contain the label advertorial. 5. Positioning of advertisements in Against the Grain e-newsletter will be at the discretion of the editor. 6. Advertisements will not be accepted where they are likely to cause offence, are untruthful, are misleading or deceptive in any way, or are discriminatory. 7. In any edition of Against the Grain e-newsletter, limited space is available for advertising and sponsorship.

Please Note The Food Standards Code for Australia and New Zealand states that save where otherwise expressly prescribed by this code, the label on or attached to a package containing or any advertisement for food shall not contain the name or a reference to any disease or physiological condition. This means that while you can use the term gluten free if products meet the Food Standards criterion you cannot use the term coeliac or coeliac disease. Page 5
