It is a difficult time for families in our community and we want to help!

Bristow Beat would like to sponsor free advertising and exposure for a local or regional charity/non-profit. This month we are focusing on charities that help FAMILIES and CHILDREN. Help us decide to choose with nonprofit to highlight this April by voting within the survey.

We have compiled a list of excellent charities working in our community and region. We would like you to vote on which one you believe Bristow Beat should support. 

We will provide that nonprofit with a 300 x 250 banner, an article, and videos (to post on YouTube and Facebook), a $350 value! 

We invite you to explore these charities and see how you can help support them. Please share so others can be involved. 

We are also looking for corporate or community sponsors who would like to sponsor a charity on our page and share the publicity via a flashing ad and receive our nonprofit discount. If you are interested please email stacyshaw@bristowbeat.com.

Unfortunately, you can only choose one nonprofit (don't worry there will be other opportunities), but just by voting and sharing this survey, you can help spread awareness. 

*We will now be running the banner ad in May, allowing readers to vote throughout April.
