Inspire Sponsorship Opportunities
Inspire is Fund for Women of the Southern Tier’s (FFW) annual fundraising dinner, where we bring 400+ attendees and volunteers together at the Corning Museum of Glass to network, socialize, have a meal and listen to an inspiring speaker. We manage an onsite silent auction, offer grab bags for purchase and celebrate the evening’s end with a dessert under the stars. It is an unforgettable evening, and one the community looks forward to each year. Below are ways your business can participate through sponsorship and donation.
