Music for All has been named recipient of the Gold Pinnacle Award from the International Festival & Events Association for Best Sponsor for MFA's exclusive uniform sponsorship from FJM Inc.

The judging criteria consisted of 20 points for: Well organized; professional content; clarity of message; creativity; supporting materials and measurable results along with overall appeal. The other 80 points were awarded based on MFA's detailed overview of FJM's sponsorship submitted the the IFEA.

Here's just some of what MFA had to say about FJM's commitment as a sponsor...

- For Music for All, FJM is the epitome of a sponsor. FJM understands the essence of the objectives and opportunity of sponsorship and the importance and value of association  and activation.

- FJM is "The Image Makers" in the pageantry arts business. For Music for All's Bands of America (BOA), FJM is part of the essence of who the organization is. FJM's corporate mission is entirely consistent with and supportive of Music for All's commitment to create, provide and expand positively-life changing experiences through music for all.

- FJM and Fred and Marlene Miller made it clear from the beginning that their commitment was to "the kids" and "the activity" first and foremost, and that business and good business practices and results stemmed and flowed from that commitment. FJM has lived up to and exceeded those principals on every level and at every turn.

- When the organization (MFA) was hard hit in 2008 by the economy, FJM's principals again said "yes" and mailed substantial contributions to Music for All's BOA Alumni Campaign. When MFA needed new uniforms for the Tournament of Roses Parade Honors Band, FJM said "yes" and design one of the most spectacular uniforms ever to outfit a band.

Everyone here at FJM is proud to be closely associated with Music for All and Bands of America. As the "Official Uniform Sponsor" we would like to congratulate MFA and BOA on being named the recipient of the Gold Pinnacle Award from the International Festival & Events Association for Best Sponsor for MFA's exclusive uniform sponsorship from FJM Inc.
