Twenty-three sponsors have contributed $66,550 to support the
American Numismatic Association (ANA)
World's Fair of Money(R) 2003 in Baltimore, July 30 to August 3.
"The tremendous financial contributions from these sponsors
demonstrate their continued strong support for the
ANA and its convention," says ANA Convention Director Brenda Bishop.
"Their commitment to the World's Fair of Money provides the ANA with
needed funding to promote, market and produce what promises to be our
best show yet."
Delaware Valley Rare Coin and Numismatic Guaranty Corporation
(NGC) are the two Title Sponsors of the show, each having donated
$10,000 to support all activities and events at the ANA event. The
names of both firms will be imprinted on bags given to all visitors
as they register for the five-day show at the Baltimore Convention Center.
Their names also will be highlighted on signage at the entrance to the
bourse.
In addition, Title Sponsors will be recognized at the show's
opening ceremonies beginning at 9:45 a.m. on Wednesday, July 30, and
receive free convention program advertising, recognition banners above
their bourse tables, sponsor ribbons for their staffs and corporate tables
