Sponsorship Information

The National Park Service and Trauma Response Assistance for Children (TRAC Team) will memorialize the annual observance of the terrorist attacks on 9-11-01 by hosting a national community program call the "Healing Field." This spectacular, patriotic and healing event will take place at Floyd Bennett Field at the south end of Flatbush Ave. in Brooklyn, NY, September 7th - 12th.

This memorial will be a display of over 3,000 3' x 5' American flags posted in memory of those who died on September 11th, 2001. This 6 day event will consist of daily programs including the raising and lowering of the flag, the reading of the names for which flags have been posted, choirs singing patriotic songs and guest speakers.

This will be an opportunity for your company to gain local and national exposure from our program, advertising, marketing and media coverage that will credit you with a commitment to a patriotic and nationally based program.

We ask that you carefully review the Healing Field Sponsorship Information and consider an investment in this patriotic, emotionally charged, community project, one that inspires the nation.  While there are 7 levels of sponsorship outlined on the form, we welcome your participation at any level.

In order to provide exclusive sponsorship opportunities we have limited the number of sponsorships available at each level, therefore we are requesting that you make your sponsorship intentions known as soon as possible.

We look forward to your partnership in making this the most inclusive and emotional memorial to our Nation’s greatest tragedy.

Sincerely,

Michael Bellone
Event Chairman
