    Why Sponsor An Event?

    Attendance at an albinism conference can be uplifting and life changing for a parent of a child with albinism or as an adult, who may meet another person with albinism for the first time.

    All donations to AFA are tax deductable.

    About AFA Events

    The AFA runs biennial conferences organised and run by volunteer members.  We have successfully run 3 conferences with gradually increasing attendance at each.  Our next conference will be held from from 7th October to 9th October 2011 at the Novotel on Collins Street in Melbourne.  We anticipate over 150 delegates with national and international attendees and speakers.  Please visit our Past Events page for summaries of previous events.

    What’s In It For You?

    All donations (monetary or in kind) will be acknowledged in the conference program, and on our website with your company logo

    Corporate donations of more than $300 will receive a ¼ page ad in the conference program as well as a ½ page ad in our quarterly newsletter “Beyond Blonde” for 4 issues.

    The knowledge that you are supporting a group of people often misunderstood and misrepresented in society.

    You will be helping to keep our attendance costs as low as possible to allow the greatest possible attendance

    The potential opportunity to work with our media partners to acknowledge your donation on a larger scale
