CELEBRATE
SACRIFICE ATTENDANCE BY AREA POLICE, FIRE, MILITARY AND EMT PERSONNEL OR
DEPARTMENTS.
Police,
Fire, active Military and EMT personnel are welcomed at all CS events! Those
who attend in uniform (so the public may recognize them) may receive 4
wristbands at the entrance ticket booth so they and their immediate family may
attend the rides and concert FREE.
All
regional Police, Fire, Military and EMT Departments are invited to display
equipment and meet the public. There is no charge for this and your mileage
costs may be reimbursable by contacting the CS committee.
WHO
RUNS
CELEBRATE SACRIFICE?
Local
Celebrate
Sacrifice events are independent festivals operated by local committees. This
keeps the Celebration in touch with the community and its unique heritage. The
name Celebrate Sacrifice is a trademark of
EarthTraces Foundation which grants free use of the name and provides free
organizational assistance to communities desiring an event. The only
conditions placed on use of the name is that admission to the grounds,
displays and food areas be free although admission to rides and concert areas
may be charged to recover event costs.
DOES
IT COST TO ATTEND CELEBRATE SACRIFICE?
Admission
to the grounds, displays and food gardens is FREE at all CS events. Those
events that have major sponsors and those that are smaller in scope may be
entirely free. Larger events, those providing more rides, activities and
entertainment will charge admission to offset the cost of those costly
activities. The goal of each CS committee is to provide the best festival
possible for their community at an attendance cost below that of equivalent
events.
IS
CELEBRATE SACRIFICE A RELIGIOUS EVENT?
Celebrate
Sacrifice honors our everyday heroes without excluding any group or individual
who wishes to participate in the celebration. Churches, public organizations
and local businesses all play important roles as sponsors and promoters of the
event. Celebrate Sacrifice itself is an open community event - not controlled
by any one organization. Each year a new local festival committee is formed to
meet the needs of its community. Everyone is invited to participate in
planning and preparing for the event.
Those wishing to express views contrary to the
purpose of the event may request display space in a designated area for this
purpose. The right of free speech, be it religious, political or other will
not be deterred.
INTERESTED
IN SPONSORING A CELEBRATE SACRIFICE?
What
does it cost a sponsor? With
www.TheEventLine.com and
www.EventSuperCenter.com
as the primary
tent, ride and equipment rental sponsors and local sponsors providing food,
displays and entertainment, costs are typically recovered by gate admission and
food sales. Any budget shortfall is covered by endowments to
www.EarthTraces.com.
ALL NET PROCEEDS go into the EarthTraces
College Internship Fund to provide job experiences and tuition funds for
those seeking a career in the clergy, law enforcement, fire fighting, EMT or
related fields. Local events may use other equipment sponsors as well as
covering costs through local contributions to reduce gate admission costs.
Sponsors help do the legwork including:
 forming
a committee to work with local police, fire, military and emergency medical
services,
provide
volunteers to help setup/takedown and staff the activities,
help
with local event requirements and publicity, and
provide
contemporary Christian and patriotic musicians from their congregation to be
spotlighted on the festival stage.
From
a business point-of-view, the value of communicating the message of
support within and as part of the community makes sponsoring Celebrate
Sacrifice one of the best values available!
From
the church point-of-view Celebrate Sacrifice is a great opportunity to
outreach within the community, demonstrating to churched and unchurched that you are a helpful,
caring part of the community. The festival atmosphere and the fellowship
within the event provides an opportunity to communicate that God and church
can be fun and worth investigating!
