5th Annual Chili Cook Off
On October 25th, The Rotary Club of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus (BNMC) will host its 5th Annual Chili Cook-off at Flying Bison Brewery.
Fundraisers such as this enable us to provide scholarships to students, grants to local not-for-profit organizations, and support the local community through various clean-up and service projects.
Please consider supporting our efforts by becoming a sponsor of our upcoming Chili Cook-off. Sponsor opportunities include pre-event recognition, prominent signage at the event, as well as electronic advertising among our networks. (District 7090 of Rotary spans the 8 WNY counties and Southern Ontario and is a network of area business people with thousands of contacts).
You will receive great exposure to new markets and potential clients –all while supporting the efforts of the Rotary Club of the BNMC and great work being done in our community.
