Here are some ways you might sponsor Bricks By The Bay.
- Donate cash.
- Donate prizes to be included in our door prize drawings.
- Donate free or discounted services (e.g. printing services for free or at cost) to assist in running the convention.
- Sponsor the awards for a display theme category.
- Sponsor a contest or game – provide prizes and/or parts/sets that participants will use in the contest or game.
- Donate sample products to be given to each attendee in their “goodie bag.” We will need 525 items (500 expected attendees + 5% extras).
- Donate sample products to be given to members of the public (while supplies last) on our Public Day during the exposition, in addition to giving one to each attendee in their “goodie bag.” We will need at least 3000 items.
- Other ideas? Let us know!
Instead of donating physical products, you can give us vouchers which can be redeemed at your booth for actual products.Coupons for a discount where the customer must still make a purchase do not qualify; it must be something they can get for free by presenting the voucher.
Donated goods or services are valued at your usual retail rates. If you are selling it to us at a discounted price, the amount of your donation is the difference between full retail and our price.
LEGO® kits which are currently available through retail outlets are valued at LEGO’s MSRP.
Older, discontinued or otherwise not currently available LEGO® kits are valued based on the Bricklink price guide for new kits, as listed under average price for the last six months.
In order for donated items to be included in the goodie bags, they must be received three weeks prior to the convention start date. The shipping address will be provided at the time of donation confirmation. Other donated items may be brought to the convention by arrangement.
Many of our sponsors are also vendors. For information about being a vendor, see the vendor overview page.
