Seven months after her father passed away from a heart attack, Mickie went to a 9Health Fair. Her blood screening results indicated that her cholesterol levels were high. She went to her doctor who referred her to a cardiologist. An angiogram showed a partial blockage in her artery. Since then, she has made important changes in her life – she is on medication, receives regular checkups and goes to 9Health Fair every year - except last year to attend her son’s wedding! She believes 9Health Fair helped save her life and prevented her from suffering a heart attack like her father.

“My wife and I have been going to [the] 9Healthfair for many years in several different towns in Colorado, so it plays a big part in our lives. In April of 2003, we went again to have our annual blood screening but this time mine came back a little different. My PSA number came in a little high with a suggestion to make an appointment with my doctor. With further evaluation I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I had no previous symptoms. I was given several options but at my age of 51, surgery was the best for me. As you can see 9Healthfair saved my life. My family and I are so grateful for the services available to all of our communities. 9Health Fair is great and I am looking forward to many more 9fairs.”

HOW to Become a Sponsor
 When
considering what cause your company should focus on, consider the interests and
concerns of your customers. Is 9Health Fair the right choice for your business?
9Health Fair is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, community-based program dedicated to providing
health awareness in the Colorado community for the past 28years. More than 103,000
people are served annually at approximately 175 9Health Fair sites.
Is your business seeking a way to:
- Create a positive image with your customers and employees?
- Garner trust among the American consumer?
- Give back to the community in which you do business?
- Increase the retention of loyal employees?
- Distinguish your product or service from the rest of the pack?
Consider embracing the elements of partnering with 9Health Fair, Colorado 's largest
and most trusted non profit health fair program.
"Americans expect companies to make long-term, substantive commitments to social
issues. Almost eight in 10 Americans consistently prefer that companies commit to
a specific cause for a long period of time rather than focus on many different causes
over shorter time periods. The strength of these numbers serves as another indicator
that those companies creating deep, relevant, on-going cause programs will be rewarded
."
Please consider the following facts:
- 90 percent of employees feel proud of their company ' s values when their company
is committed to a cause (versus 56 percent of those employers not committed to a
cause).
- 87 percent of employees feel a strong sense of loyalty to their company with cause
programs (versus 67 percent without a cause association).
- 83 percent of American consumers report having a more positive image of companies
who support a cause they care about.
- 65 percent of Americans said they would switch brands to support a cause they cared
about. (Source: Cone/Roper Report)
