Annual Convention Exhibit & Sponsorship Information

 

The MAGIC Foundation, leaders in endocrine support, is a national non-profit organization that supports families of children and adults with endocrine related disorders. MAGIC’s annual convention is a 3-day event, Thursday through Saturday, that combines both educational and social activities geared towards families and medical professionals. The MAGIC Foundation’s first convention was in 1995 with an attendance of 86 people. At the last in person event in 2019 there was approximately 1,000 people.  MAGIC hosted virtually in 2020 and 2021 and we are so excited to be back in person this year!

 

This is a great opportunity for you to be a part of MAGIC! Consider attending or exhibiting/sponsoring this worthwhile convention. Below are many activities your company can sponsor. Most exhibitors have some type of booth activity for the children (ie. face painting, snow cone machines, caricaturists, give-aways, etc.). If you need ideas for entertainment or have questions, contact Dianne at dianne@magicfoundation.org. 

 

Please help make this convention a huge success! We appreciate and recognize our corporate sponsors. It is your generous contributions to MAGIC that allow us to offer such an affordable convention for our families.

The Independent Charities Seal of Excellence is awarded to Charities of America that have, upon rigorous independent review, been able to certify, on an annual basis that they meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness.

These standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion in the Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in the world.

Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal. MAGIC's CFC #10388.
