SPONSOR A DOOR PRIZE AT ALCON ’21 VIRTUAL

Our upcoming virtual convention on August 19-21 will be a first of its kind event in League history. To assure the success of this free event, we are offering extraordinary speakers, fascinating virtual tours, recognition for our 2020 and 2021 award recipients, and the best door prizes ever offered at a League convention.

Rather than ask many vendors for routine door prizes, we are asking each League member society, or any interested League member, to consider sponsoring one door prize in the $150 to $200 range, if possible.

If you are a League member society, or an individual member, and would like to sponsor a door prize, contact a convention co-chair, Terry Mann, or Chuck Allen. They can be contacted using the form on this website.

Sponsors will be invited to make a brief virtual presentation regarding their club or their League involvement during the live presentation of their door prize.

Thanks for your consideration. Most of the questions you may have about the door prize process are answered in the FAQ.
