Anthem and the IMF are proud to announce an official partnership with CHOSA. CHOSA (Giving hope to the children of South Africa) is a prominent South African children’s charity whose mission is to identify and support community based organizations that reach out and take care of orphans and other vulnerable children in South Africa. Partial proceeds from Anthem's International Music Festival (IMF) will be donated to CHOSA at the conclusion of the 2008 festival.



Anthem reaches a company record for market activity for the third straight year. In 2006, Anthem executed projects in 41 markets thanks largely to marketing and mystery shopper programs. That number has since been increased to 70 in 2008, both nationally and internationally, with the 2008 IMF Festival extending the company’s reach.

Anthem Entertainment President, Chris Sinclair featured in Entrepreneur Magazine’s September 2007 issue. As the premier trade publication for entrepreneurial ventures and a leading national business magazine, Entrepreneur’s selection of Sinclair marks an important professional highlight. It is also indicative of ANTHEM Entertainment’s continued growth and the rapidly rising profile of this Boston-based event planning and marketing company.
