SPONSORSHIP
The Acadiana Breastfeeding Coalition (ABC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit group which consists of healthcare professionals, community leaders, and others who are dedicated to protecting, promoting, and supporting breastfeeding through community outreach and support referrals. Since our birth in 2011, we at ABC have made it our mission to make breastfeeding the “norm” in Acadiana which results in healthier babies, mothers, and communities.
Globally, World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated every year August 1st-7th. ABC plans to continue our annual tradition by hosting a free public event in order to create breastfeeding awareness in Acadiana. Families and other local breastfeeding support organizations will be invited to participate in our event.
Events of this nature require financial resources, as do other educational community breastfeeding events that ABC sponsors throughout the year. As a small non-profit organization, ABC is soliciting funds to produce giveaways (t-shirts and other items that create public awareness for breastfeeding), educational materials, advertising, and other costs that come with event hosting. Sponsorships are fuel for our coalition and crucial in helping ABC to continue its efforts to normalize breastfeeding throughout Acadiana.
