DBA Caltopia Booth
August 19 & 20 | 10:00 am - 6:00 pm

 

Caltopia UC Berkeley Student Activities Fair
Needed: small gift certificates, volunteers to help staff booth
 
The DBA will be representing Downtown Berkeley at Caltopia, the annual activities fair for UC Berkeley students and staff, with a booth shared with other business districts, which is being generously sponsored by Berkeleyside.  The free booth allows us to market Downtown Berkeley to students, faculty and staff at the 2-day event held on UC Berkeley campus on Sunday, August 19th and Monday, August 20th. It is an excellent opportunity to reach thousands of new and returning members of the campus community, and invite them to experience the "New" Downtown Berkeley!

 

We need your help:
The booth will have a game wheel for attendees to win gift certificates to businesses in the commercial districts. Would your business be able to provide a couple small gift certificates to give to attendees as prizes?
 
Also, additional volunteers are needed to staff the booth for shifts of 2-4 hours over the course of the event. Could you provide a volunteer to help talk about your business and Downtown Berkeley? The business district booth provides your business with a fantastic opportunity to directly reach out to UC Berkeley students and staff (over 20,000 usually attend).
 
If you would be interested in providing gift certificates or a volunteer to help staff the booth at Caltopia, on August 19th or 20th, please contact the DBA at 510-549-2230 x10 or [email protected].
 
Your help is much appreciated!
