For more than 50 years, the New Hamburg Mennonite Relief Sale has brought volunteers, supporters, businesses and buyers who care about relieving poverty, sowing peace and meeting global needs together. For the last two years, the spread of COVID-19 disrupted our plans and forced us to adapt, just as you have had to.
After a two-year hiatus of the in-person relief sale, we're excited to announce that this year's event will be in-person on May 27 and 28 at the New Hamburg Fairgrounds in New Hamburg, ON.
Sponsoring the sale puts your brand in front of the approximately 10,000 visitors in various ways including:
- a branded promotional slide displayed throughout the auction
- logos on auction cards and chairs in the auditorium
- online profile post at NHMRS.com (approx. 39,000 visitors annually - see here for example)
- advertising in the popular quilt guide (printed and distributed 8,000 times)
- and much more.
