Purchasing an ad in the AYF Olympic souvenir ad book is the easiest and most visible way to support the AYF and its activities.

This year’s ad book offers the following:
– $500 for a color full page ad with true gold metallic trim that is visible from the outside edge of the ad book
– $300 for a color full page ad
– $150 for a B&W half page ad
– $100 for a B&W quarter page ad
– $100 for a page sponsor ad
Ads can be submitted and paid for on-line at www.ayfolympics.org or an on-ine ad form can be downloaded and mailed along with an ad and check (payable to AYF Olympics) to AYF Olympics, c/o Sosi Mikaelian, 2158 W. Grand Avenue #203, Chicago, Ill. 60612. Hard copy ad forms, included in an Olympic brochure being mailed to select households and distributed to local AYF chapters, can also be filled out and mailed with an ad and payment to AYF Olympics at the above address.
The AYF Olympic Hye Pass, at $80, offers a 20% discount on the admission to the following dances held during the Olympic weekend:
