During the month of March, we supported women in business by donating our proceeds from the raffle sale to the local nonprofit organization Long Island Center for Business and Professional Women (LICBPW). For this event, Hopestic divided up into four groups and walked around the neighboring areas to sell tickets. We were also open to collecting donations of any sort (eg. money or prizes) from our local organizations and small businesses. This event was a wonderful and heartwarming opportunity to have the entire community harmonize together and raise donations to diversify the workplace. Almost all, if not every store we visited participated in this event one way or another. Through this event, we were able to raise $250+ which was all donated to LICBPW to encourage their mentorship efforts.
