The Bali International Women's Association (BIWA) has committed itself to raising Rp. 500 million (approximately US$ 55,000) via its annual fund-raising bazaar to assist in the fight against HIV and AIDS.
The Annual BIWA Charity Bazaar, scheduled to be held in November of this year, is a highlight of the local community calendar with sold-out participation via sales booths manned by local restaurants, associations, and businesses. Thousands of visitors, tourists, and local residents flock each year to the day-long event of games, entertainment, and music organized by the association of expatriate and local woman who form the membership of BIWA.
Major sponsors are being sought in exchange for prominent exposure on all advertisements for the event and during the actual bazaar. Sponsors may also donate major door prizes and silent auction raffle items.
The targeted Rp. 500 million will be used to improve the physical facilities of several Bali orphanages, provide scholarships to orphans, and fund education programs to prevent the spread of AIDS and HIV.
For more information on sponsorship or the event, telephone/facsimile to ++62-361-735082.
