The Grand Gardens of the Niagara Portage 2015 needs your support! A mostly volunteer event that, already, has several sponsors which are greatly appreciated: NYS Parks, Niagara Gazette, and City of Niagara Falls as well as the unique, historic venues. However, speakers, printing, signage, activities, and much more come with a cost.
Event sponsorship will promote your business, your organization, your family. It will provide opportunities for adults and children to walk through historic sites and appreciate native plants in an urban setting. Your sponsorship can be “in-kind” or a financial donation.
