We are seeking $100 sponsorships for our event. The following labor organizations have confirmed a sponsorship: Boilermakers Local 30679, Ironworkers Local 742 and Teamsters Local 236. Please consider a sponsorship. We will publicize your organization at the dinner. Also, if you have a logo, please send it to me with your sponsorship fee.
