Dear Friend,

Thank you for reviewing our 5th Annual sponsorship packet. I

am proud to represent a vibrant group of successful, intelligent

African diaspora women investing in Africa’s long term

prosperity and development.

As a sponsor, you will gain access to a largely untapped African

diaspora demographic, as evidenced by our 250 highly

connected women and their networks. Sponsors will also be

able to penetrate DAWN’s social media network that reaches

nearly 10,000 people a day.

Supporting DAWN’s 5th Anniversary Celebration means

supporting the dreams, pride, and goals of a rising generation

of changemakers. Help us create more professional

opportunities for our members and reach another generation

of leaders.

I thank you in advance.
