Raleigh, NC, October 6, 2010 – Today, LinkingRaleighNC.com announced the date of their
Second Annual OpenLink™ Holiday Networking and Charity Event. On the heals of the last OpenLink™ Networking and Charity Event held on September 16, LinkingRaleighNC.com is continuing to give back to the community with this free event to be held on December 2, 2010 between 6-9 pm. LinkingRaleighNC.com and its event partner, the
Sheraton Hotel in downtown Raleigh, are gearing up for another opportunity that puts the spotlight on “Face to Face” networking and is helping the
Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina with stocking their food pantry for the winter.
With the help of
http://www.LinkingRaleighNC.com event sponsors, the attendees will not only enjoy the festive Holiday atmosphere of the Sheraton Hotel, but will have the opportunity to network with other local professionals and business owners that make up over 10,000 members of
LinkingRaleigh NC while helping families in need across the 35 counties that the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina serves.
Last year this event was attended by over 225 local professionals and business owners. Attendees brought 425 pounds of food that was then donated to the Food Bank. That amount of food can create up to 350 meals. This year we are asking attendees to contribute even more by bringing their non-perishable foods to the event on the evening of December 2. Those interested in attending should visit
http://OpenLink.eventbrite.com to register today.
The benefits of sponsoring such an event as OpenLink™ are innumerable. Not only would a business reach its target local audience of the professional membership base of Linking Raleigh, NC’s 10,000 members, but the marketing exposure reach beyond its members and to their networks. This event is attended by experienced professionals from all background and situations. Sponsorships for this event start at $125. For more information about the generous sponsorship levels, please contact Christina Blandi-James at
