Reception to recognize Ontario innovators

The Pillar Community Innovation Awards reception is set to take place in London next month.

The Pillar Non-profit Network is made up of 300 organizations and individuals who promote leadership, advocacy, and support. It also provides professional development guidance, advisory services and general information to the community.

The Innovation Awards are given to any of the groups involved with the Network which exemplify its beliefs and offer innovative answers to community problems. There are four awards categories, currently with three finalists in each; these are Innovation, Leadership, Impact and Collaboration. The winners will be announced at the reception.

In addition to the prize announcements, guests will enjoy a cocktail reception with hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. There will also be the opportunity to network with those who are dedicated to helping and improving the community in which they live.

Sponsorships are available for the awards and reception, and range in price from $500 to $10,000. Sponsors will be recognized in the event’s program, which everyone who attends will receive. It's very likely that London printing companies will be helping to produce this brochure for the organizers.

The Pillar Community Innovation Awards will be held at the London Convention Centre on November 19, with doors opening at 6:30pm and closing at 9:30pm. Tickets are $50 for Pillar members or $65 for non-members; tables of eight are available for $400 and $500. To find out more about the night's events or to become a sponsor, call 519-433-7876.
