The Soul of Country Music will be televised, which adds to the excitment. Since our audience crosses all cultures, we’ll use the power of grassroots publicity to promote through radio, print, internet, and outdoor campaigns. Our music extravaganza will be fun for every member of the family, providing not only entertainment, but education as well! We predict the re-broadcast and packaging of this historic music special will generate additional revenue streams for the entire year. Not only will this garner additional profits, but it’ll whet viewers’ appetites for next year’s event!
With the experience of the three partnering production companies, we know our high energy show will be well received! The music performances and honor presentations will create an opportunity for us to do a multilateral marketing campaign through event merchandising, web marketing, network marketing (from event rodeos to late night talk show appearances), music teasers, radio, and product integration. We intend to get such sponsors as Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, Wrangler, Dell, Chevrolet/Ford/Chrysler, Halston, Starbucks, Duracell, Shell, and Gillette, just to name a few.
The co-producers plan to distribute the Soul of Country Music Extravaganza through domestic channels, with international implications. After the televised broadcast, this special will go through several additional channels of distribution to increase the show’s profitability and to maximize the return of all investors associated with the project. We’re currently talking with television and cable distributors.
Completion of the show will be finalized about two months from the fully funded taping of the live event. Pre-production to production is expected to take about one week. Investment returns generally come in about twelve to sixteen months after the show’s broadcast. Any funds invested will be held in an escrow account, accruing interest.
Investors will be entitled to 25% of the producers’ net. Investors will also be entitled to an initial 10% return on their investment. This will be re-paid first, before any other monies are paid out. Additionally, investors will share 10% of the net revenues generated from the Soul of Country Music Extravaganza for the next two years. Investors may be eligible for a tax incentive, which provides that certain audio and visual works may be eligible. (Please consult with your tax advisor). Messrs. Bonner, Spruill and Rippy expect to return all invested dollars approximately six to twelve months after the show’s taping. Twelve percent of all monies derived form DVD sales and all other ancillary markets will go to the initial investors. Twelve percent of all incoming revenue generated from the extravaganza will go to investors for a period of two years. (All legal agreements will be finalized and negotiated prior to the show’s production).
The Soul of Country Music Extravaganza is a highly anticipated, star-studded event taking place this summer. Come be part of this exciting event and make history with us!
The Super Bowl of Parties
January 18, 2008
What began as a fun get together to enjoy the Super Bowl with 35-50 people, in Sharon and Mark Silberberg’s home in Rancho Palos Verdes ten years ago, has morphed into a full fledged charity event with 1,500 people attending form all over the United States. “It just outgrew our home,” Sharon said. “My husband and I are diehard football fans. He’s from Pittsburgh. I’m from Philly. We both love the event of the Super Bowl. (Full story below video)
Super Game Day, which takes place on Super Bowl Sunday at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, has become an annual event.
“For football fans, this is like New Years Eve and the Fourth of July all rolled into one. The early birds start with a Charity Celebraty Golf Tournormant . You party all day, with open buffets and bars, listening to rockin’ music, cruise through a Classic and Hot Rod Car Show and watch the game on hig definition screens. All this great fun with fellow fans and you’re home by 9pm, it’s just awsome” said Sharon.
One of the main attractions for many at this year’s Super Game Day, will be presence of NFL alumni players including Rod Barksdale, who played for the Raiders and the Cowboys; Chris Hale of the Buffalo Bills, who played in Super Bowls XXV, XXVI and XXVIII; Ricky Ellis of the Seattle Seahawks, Kermit Alexander of the Rams and 49ers, former Los Angeles Raiders running back Dokie Williams. For the baseball fans, three-time World Series-winning pitcher John “Blue Moon” Odom and Jay Johnstone of the Dodgers will join the day’s festivities.
A 72-person charity golf tournament with a celebrity sports figure in every foursome will kick off the day’s festivities at 8 am. There are five 3 Par Holes, each with a hole in one prize.
A Classic Car Show featuring 50 Classic automobiles and Hot Rods with Parnelli Jones as the Master of Ceremonies will entertain the car enthusiast. Sounds of live music from such legends as, Leon Russell, Edgar Winter along with The Chuck Alvarez Band will keep the place rocking between 12 noon and 2:45pm.
Following the live music Super Game Day will host a Patriotic Memorial to the veterans of WWII. Just before game time, Steve Cooley, District Attorney of Los Angeles, will be the Master of Ceremonies of this special ceremony honoring of the men and women who served so valiantly in World War II, some of whom will be in attendance.
America the Beautiful will be sung by Susan Jeske, 1986 Miss America. A ceremonial aerial salute in the form of a flyover will be performed by World War II planes, and an Honor Guard will present a 21-gun salute.
By this time all the guests and fans are ready for Super Bowl XLII, which begins at 3:20pm. Pick your spot to watch the game from among 14 high definition screens throughout the Trump National Club House and two 12 foot screens outside with the blue Pacific and Catalina Island as your back drop.
This year the beneficiaries of all this celebrating and merry making are five regional charities. The Erin Runnion Foundation for Abducted Children, 2007 Firestorm Relief in San Diego, Kids N Pets, Acquired Brain Injury Foundation and Habitat for Humanity-Greater Los Angeles.
Proceeds from the 2008 SUPER GAME DAY will benefit the five “first tier” charities, with each organization receiving $20,000. If funds exceed expectations, a second tier of charities will be added to the list of recipients. Mark and Sharon formed their 501C3 foundations, CharityTakes2.org, to make this event possible and to support worthwhile small to mid-sized charities and important works these charities do every day.
So long as you have your tickets, you get to partake in all the afternoon events plus complimentary food and drinks! If you are not at the Super Bowl, why not go to the next best thing with over 80 feet of plasma screens T.V.’s throughout the entire Trump National facility, so that don’t miss a moment of the game or the commercials!
“I’ve been to a lot of parties in my life, but these (Super Game Day
Events) are truly the best,” said Jim Amormino, the oft-quoted spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, who has attended the bashes in the past. “Everybody in town is looking for a good Super Bowl party - - why not go to the best?” With over 1,500 people expected this year Mark and Sharon Silberberg are already planning to expand this event for next year. With multiple locations, cities, and charities, the Silberberg’s plan to make Super Game Day bigger each year until it is the biggest collective Super Bowl Party in the nation (except for maybe the Super Bowl itself).
