funding for a Toronto Regional Youth Conference Every year, my church in Markham (marthoma.ca) with the partnership of our Brampton sister parish (marthomachurch.ca) host a long-weekend Youth Conference for youth from our parishes, and across Ontario.

This year, our fundraising target is approximately $6000. However, due to the recent economy downturn and the situation our church was put in at that time, we're finding it hard to raise the needed amount from our members.

I'm looking for local businesses or individuals who'd like to contribute an amount for this purpose.

All donations will be tax-deductible (we are a registered non-profit organization), or we can work out a deal to put your ads in out "culture show/entertainment night" talent show that expect 300+ in audience, in our souvenir booklet, that will reach ALL delegates of the conference and their immediate family, or you can opt to put your ad on our website.

In return, I, personally, am willing to offer a period of technical support services (everything from creating powerpoints to maintaining your website to doing lights/sound/audio at your next event) for free or for great discounts.

Any help is appreciated.
