The Blackstone Library is hosting its most magical event this October: A Hogwarts Halloween. This has been our most successful fundraiser in recent years, celebrating Harry Potter, the importance of reading, and Halloween all at once — we’d like to invite you to be part of the fun again this year!
On October 14 and 15, the Blackstone Library will be transformed into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, allowing hundreds of children to visit Ollivander’s Wand Shop and take classes in Divination, Potions and Charms.
- Each participant (400 attendees) will receive a souvenir program book showing your logo to take home to their families.
- Event posters with your logo will be hung in the library leading up to the event, so all of the daily visitors to the Blackstone (an average of over 500 per day) will see your support for the library and this magical weekend.
- Your logo will also be displayed on our website, with links to your website, and will be shared in emails (over 6900 recipients) and social media posts (over 1400 followers) leading up to the event, reaching thousands of members of the local community.
Your sponsorship will support the innovative programming and services offered by the Blackstone, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Programs like Math Matters Storytime, Graphic Reads Book Clubs, and Digital Design coding classes plus the Blackstone’s traditional and electronic collections encourage kids to read, think, and grow.
