IBAH Public Relations Update – Fundraising Initiatives & Community Support

The IBAH experienced a lot of awesome Public Relations initiatives this term, we were involved in a lot of Community fundraising  and support.


Greetings everyone!

This was a very fun year in Public Relations! Between the luncheons, BBQ, Mix and Mingles and the Golf Tournament, I managed to meet a lot of you, fine brokers!  I look forward to many more events that we are planning in the upcoming year…and hopefully getting to meet even more of you!

This year through Public Relations, we attended some very worthwhile events.  On May 14, 2016, we were a Silver Level Sponsor for the 2016 YMCA Cycle for kids!  This event was well attended and a lot of money and awareness was raised for the many great programs our local YMCA delivers! 

Many of our other events were run through our new initiative “Bip The Town Magenta!”  This program that we developed did some very hands-on and meaningful work in the community.  Members of IBAH were encouraged to contact us with local charities they wished to support.  If the member was to donate to this charity, we would match the donation up to $500.00! This meant that some local charitable organization received up to $1000.00 to support their cause! In all we had 5 members set up donation presentation ceremonies and 5 local charities were beneficiaries to some much-needed funding.  The members who donated and their charities are as follows;

Al-care DKI – City Kidz, The Mitchell & Abbott Group – Neighbor 2 Neighbor, Dalton Timmis Group – Rygiel Supports for Community Living, Pearson Dunn – Urban Wildlife Care, and Meester Insurance – West Lincoln Community Care

Thank you, everyone, who reached out to be a part of this great initiative. It helps our community, and helps our members and association look great! Look for another opportunity to get on board with this program leading into the Christmas season!

Remember, the IBAH is only as strong as its members. If you have an idea that can help us raise our profile to be it an event we can attend or a new initiative, please let me know! I can be reached at ryanb@daltontimmis.com.
