Centennial College 50th Anniversary Gala October 20, 2016 Sponsorship Package

Ontario Colleges: 50 Years in the Making Greetings Friends, 50 years ago, Centennial College revolutionized post-secondary education in Ontario by introducing the province s first vocational and polytechnic institution. Half a century later, with our Golden Jubilee on the horizon, we prepare to celebrate our College s past achievements, but we have no intention of resting on our laurels. As the first college in Ontario, we recognize we have a responsibility to all vocational colleges and our students - a responsibility to look ahead to the next 50 years and introduce the next paradigm of college education with a fully integrated internationalized learning environment. In 1966, Centennial College was the first of its kind. Today, the college system has grown to include 24 community colleges that provide cutting-edge, practical education for a global economy. The following statistics from Colleges Ontario illustrate how our college system has impacted you - your economy, your business, your success: Plan: Colleges offer more than 600 tailored and applicable programs in everything from business, information technology, paramedicine, aviation, tourism and hospitality Investment: More than 220,000 full-time students and 300,000 part-time college students are preparing to join the workforce and make a positive contribution to your business and economy Benefit: 1.5 million + Ontario college graduates are working for you This year, we celebrate the history, evolution and success of the Ontario college system. As Ontario s first community college, it is fitting that Centennial College kick off a series of celebrations that will begin at Centennial and include our college partners. We invite you to join us as a sponsor for our 50th Anniversary Gala on October 20, 2016. The gala will highlight the college system and showcase the contributions of our college partners in advancing accessible learning across the province. Ontario colleges have been educating and empowering our citizens for five decades. The impact of a college education influences our communities by creating a strong workforce and keeping our economy flourishing. Now is the time to celebrate our college system for its positive impact in Ontario and around the globe. Ontario colleges - educate, empower, influence, IMPACT

Celebrating 50 Years in the College System The Centennial College 50th Anniversary Gala will be held on October 20, 2016 at the AllStream Centre, CNE Grounds, Toronto, Ontario. The evening will begin with a cocktail reception and entry into the Community College Showcase (an area where each college can showcase their school). Cocktail reception will be followed by dinner, silent auction, and live entertainment. We invite you to become involved in any of the following opportunities enclosed in this sponsorship package. Centennial College s IMPACT Campaign In 2014, Centennial College publically launched its most ambitious fundraising campaign in its history. The IMPACT Campaign is a comprehensive fundraising initiative geared to raising $50 million to fund capital enhancements and scholarships for our students. IMPACT has gained a lot of momentum due to the tremendous support of our friends, employees and partners. Your belief and commitment to education and to Centennial students is inspiring. I invite you to learn more about how your involvement is making a difference. You can visit the IMPACT Campaign website at centennialcollege.ca/impact. All proceeds from the 50th Anniversary Gala will go toward supporting capital projects and establishing new scholarships to help even more Centennial students achieve their educational and career goals. We are looking forward to celebrating with you!
