The Batey Relief Alliance (BRA) is offering co-sponsorship opportunities to organizations that will cover the travel and lodging costs of one or more panelists living outside of New York. The organizations need not necessarily be directly connected with the panelists for whom they wish to cover the expenses. An organization may simply make a donation of $1000 or more to receive a co-sponsorship spot. Sponsorship opportunities are also available for $5000 or more.

Sponsored by Barnard College and Columbia University International AIDS Program, BRA hosts its 3rd annual international conference entitled, “HIV/AIDS in Haiti and the Dominican Republic: a Bilateral Challenge. The event will be held at Barnard College on Saturday, April 30, 2005 from 10:00am to 7:00pm.

Co-sponsoring or sponsoring organizations will be mentioned in the program agenda, flyers, posters, internet and the media. Please let us know the organization(s) you wish to co-sponsor the event or cover your conference expenses. And please forward this email to others.

All tax-deductible checks should be made payable and mailed to:
Batey Relief Alliance
P.O. Box 300565
Brooklyn, N.Y. 11230

Funds raised will be used towards BRA’s HIV/AIDS testing, education and prevention program in the bateyes of the Dominican Republic.
