Description

Edwards Air Force Base Open House and Air Show It's the 50th Anniversary of the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards AFB, and we'd like you to join in the celebration! This year's Open House and Air Show, "Forging Aerospace Power For America," is Oct. 20-21, and we anticipate an amazing weekend of daring aerial acts and displays of fascinating flight technology. Edwards AFB is where tomorrow's Air Force is tested, and we are extremely proud of this installation, its rich history, and the role it has in the advancement of aviation. As part of the Open House and Air Show, the 95th Services Division is providing a Kids Korner, a first-time event with attractions and activities that are fun, informational, and contribute to the health and well-being of the youth attending our Air Show. In addition to the fun activities of the Kids Korner, Dana Bowman, renowned skydiver and motivational speaker, will be signing autographs. Dana was a Special Forces soldier and a member of the U.S. Army's elite parachutist team, The Golden Knights, when a mid-air collision in 1994 cost him both of his legs. Nine months later, he turned his tragedy into triumph when he became the first amputee member of The Golden Knights, and the first to skydive with prosthetic legs into his reenlistment ceremony! We are excited to announce that Dana Bowman will open both days of our Air Show by parachuting in with the United States flag billowing behind him. Also in the Kids Korner, Otto The Airshow Helicopter Clown will sign "Otto-graphs" after his fun and entertaining aerial acts, where he plays with a 75 lb. Yo Yo and has a bubblegum blowing contest with the kids. The Kids Korner promises to be a very special part of the Open House and Air Show, and so that you may share in this endeavor, we invite you to partner with us in providing this event. Sponsorship is an essential element for the success of this program, and in our efforts to make the Kids Korner completely free to the public, we are requesting your company's support. As a return on your investment, your company will receive extensive sponsor recognition, along with additional exciting sponsor benefits. I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to benefit your company, and at the same time benefit the many children that attend our Open House and Air Show. Please consider supporting our Kids Korner, and feel free to contact me so that we may make arrangements for your participation. Sponsor exposure, with varying sponsorship levels, may include name/logo recognition, brochures, media coverage, feature articles, photo opportunities, posters, and will be prominently acknowledged throughout the event. All offers will be considered. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept offers for sponsorships from any contractor, including their affiliates' (division, business groups, subsidiaries, etc.) subcontract arrangements, teaming partners and joint venture partners who are currently participating in, or who intend to participate in, any solicitation issued by the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), or will involve AFFTC requirements of $100,000 or more. If your company meets these criteria, we request that you do not submit a sponsorship offer thereby eliminating the need for rejection by the Government. More than one sponsor may be accepted and additives will be considered. Requests for copies of this solicitation must be received no later than October 5, 2001. This is a solicitation for commercial sponsorship by a nonappropriated fund instrumentality of the United States Government. It does not obligate appropriated funds of the government.
