Many folks who have attended Affiliate Summit know that we have made a priority to bring together the industry in support to worthy causes.

Well, with Affiliate Summit 2008 West, taking place February 24-26, 2008 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, we will include sponsorships and activities to generate donations from the affiliate marketing community to the Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation.

Past charity partnerships with Affiliate Summit include Big Brothers Big Sisters, March of Dimes, and the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

There will be auctions for conference sponsorships with 100 percent of funds received going to the Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation, as well as attendees being encouraged to make donations on behalf of their companies or themselves.

Affiliate marketers can make donations at www.starlight.org/AffiliateSummit and they will be recognized on the Affiliate Summit for their generous contributions.

Affiliate Summit will be matching up to $5,000 in donations.

The Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation has a rating of four stars (the best rating) from Charity Navigator, an objective third-party rating system for charities.

If you’re not familiar with the Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation, they have dedicated themselves for nearly 25 years to helping seriously ill children and their families cope with their pain, fear and isolation through entertainment, education and family activities.

Starlight’s programs have been proven to distract children from their pain, help them better understand and manage their illnesses, and connect families facing similar challenges so that no one feels alone.

Through a network of more than 30 offices, Starlight provides ongoing support to children, parents and siblings in all U.S. states and Canadian provinces with an array of outpatient, hospital-based and Web offerings. Programs are also delivered internationally through affiliates in Australia, Japan and the United Kingdom. To learn more visit http://www.starlight.org.
