Northwood University is excited to host the 24th Annual Auto Show of The Palm Beaches: Evolutionizing Your Dreams. Our show is the largest outdoor auto show in South Florida and attracts approximately 20,000 guests each year. This year we are hoping to put on the best show yet by Evolutionizing Your Dreams!
The Auto Show of the Palm Beaches is designed to not only offer guests an opportunity to view the latest and greatest innovations in the automotive world without buying pressure but also to supplement our student's education. Because of this our guests return annually and students are even more excited to be a part of this great organization. Through this organization, students gain practical hands-on experience in organizational skills, management, accounting, professional development, networking, promotion and sales. As the only accredited Automotive Marketing and Management program in the world, this offers students a great opportunity they might not otherwise find. However, this experience is not limited to automotive students alone but to the entire student body, using the strengths of each student to the maximum capacity.
This year participate with us in Evolutionizing Your Dreams! We appreciate your consideration and hope that you will join us as an event sponsor. Your support will directly impact the students by helping to ensure the success of this year's show all the while educating the future business leaders of a global free enterprise society. In exchange, we will be pleased to provide recognition of your generosity as well as benefits commensurate with your level of support.
For any additional information on the show or sponsorship opportunities please feel free to contact me. We look forward to sharing this fun-filled and educational event with you.
