The Business & Professional Women of Niagara Falls (BPW Niagara Falls), part of an international non-profit advocating for women's equality, is seeking sponsorships for their upcoming Designer Bag Bingo fundraiser on May 16th, 2025. Sponsorship tiers range from $500 to $5,000, with sponsors receiving prominent exposure through various media and marketing channels. Proceeds from the event will support Community Crew, a local organization that provides over 16,000 nutritious school lunches monthly to children in need across the Niagara Region. The goal is to ensure no child goes hungry, helping them focus on education and succeed. Last year’s event raised $10,000. BPW Niagara Falls invites local businesses to help make a lasting impact on the community by supporting children's health and education.
