Tết (pronounced as “Thet” ) to Asian in general and to Vietnamese-American in particular is the equivalent of the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holidays lumping together as one. Over 35 years to the date after taking refuge in the land of the free, Vietnamese Americans in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolis area will celebrate the 2012 Lunar New Year - the year of the Dragon – at the Trader’s Village in Grand Prairie, Texas together with Vietnamese around the world.
To help usher in the Lunar New Year, the Vietnamese-American Communities of Dallas and Ft. Worth request financial support to organize this festive annual cultural event. This year, total funding in excess of $35,000 is required to provide the cultural and entertainment activities at the Tet Festival to a targeted audience of over 75,000 Vietnamese Americans and over 220,000 Asian Americans in the Dallas-Fort Worth area as well as the estimated 50,000 regular patrons at the Traders Village. As the Vietnamese and other Asian American population rapidly grows, there has been an exponential accelerating need not only to foster and preserve cultural and heritage values but also recognizing their escalating consuming, educational, financial and commercial needs.
The explosive growth of Vietnamese-American community along with other Asian communities present multiple great business opportunities where successful entrepreneurs and niche marketers are learning quickly to meet the demands of this dynamic and rapidly growing ethnic American group. Parallel to the measurable economic impacts, Vietnamese Americans and Asian Americans are integrating quickly in establishing economic and political trends that benefit the whole nation at large. The Tet-In-DFW Festival provides one of the best medium where business, educational and governmental sector could meet the people, learn more about their culture and present to them respective offerings of products and services. Furthermore, the Tet-In-DFW Festival is the best time to appreciate the diversity of this growing American economy and having fun at the same time.
The annual Tet-In-DFW Festival has been one of the biggest, well-organized cultural events in North Texas. The publicity exposure attracted continuous sponsorship from small to big corporations such as City of Arlington, Wal-Mart, McDonald’s, Horse Shoe Casino and Hotel, Amerigroup Community Care, Boeing, BAE, Texas Instruments, National Language Service Corps, Allstate Insurance, Matlock Family Clinic, Advanced Reproductive Care Center, Arlington Primary Clinic, OnPAC Energy, Tara energy, New York Life Insurance, Lunex Telecom, V-247 Telecom, Clear.com, State Farm Insurance, Viet_In_Bank, Pho Pasteur ,Thanh Thanh Restaurant, Expo Hair Salon, Nam Hung Market, Hong Kong Supermarket, Vietnam Plaza Supermarket, Fiesta market, Saigon-Dallas Radio 890 AM, Vietnam Dallas Radio, TheGioiMoi Magazine, Saigon Broadcasting Television Network of DFW and many other local businesses. We hope to broaden the scope of sponsorship this year to include multi-nationals corporations, municipality, chamber of commerce and prominent non-profit organizations.
We are confident that your organization would share the same vision as we do about the future of the Vietnamese-American as well as the collective Asian American community. We respectfully ask for your support and hereby submit this Tet-In-DFW Festival proposal for your consideration. We hope that together we could celebrate the most wonderful Tet Festival ever.
In the following part of this proposal, we will present to you the highlights of the Tet-In-DFW Festival 2012. We sincerely wish you, your organization and your family the very best that the New Year has to offer.
