Mardi Gras Sponsors to Help Hurricane Victims in ‘Recovery Room’

Media Buys, the agency helping to sell sponsorships for the City of New Orleans’ Mardi Gras, has announced today the addition of a Recovery Room to its Ad Support and Sponsorship program during Mardi Gras. This area will allow corporate participants to meet residents and businesses that have been affected by the hurricane face-to-face, and help them with various aspects of their individual recovery on an individual basis.

 

“Corporations and volunteers have been asking how they can participate at a local level, one-on-one, to help residents put their lives back together,” said Chick Ciccarelli, MediaBuys CEO.

The Recovery Room will be hosted at the Morial Convention Center New Orleans (MCCNO) near the parade route throughout the duration of the Mardi Gras. It will feature a series of booths, numbering potentially between twenty and twenty-five.

Corporations can participate exclusively in a trade-show-like booth setup and supply all comers - residents, business owners, and others affected by Hurricane Katrina - with access to vital information, advice and materials to help them cope with critical issues.

Booking deadline for Ad Support sponsorships is Jan. 27.
