**Flora’s Walk Niagara 2026 – Sponsorship & Community Support Invitation****Event Details**
**Date:** Saturday, May 23, 2026
**Location:** St. Catharines Museum and Welland Canal Centre
**Hosted by:** Healthy Start, Healthy Future Inc. (Registered Charity)
Flora’s Walk Niagara is a nationwide community-driven fundraiser supporting families facing **perinatal mental health challenges**—during pregnancy and the first year postpartum. While often seen as a joyful time, many parents experience isolation, anxiety, depression, and, in severe cases, crisis.
**Why It Matters**
* 1 in 5 women experience perinatal mental health challenges
* Suicide is the second leading cause of maternal death
* Only 15% of those affected receive adequate support
**Just $25 can provide a family with one hour of critical support**, helping parents access the care they need when they need it most.
Funds raised directly support counseling, education, and urgent care services for families across the Niagara region.
**Sponsorship Opportunities**
We are looking for local corporate sponsors in the following categories:
* **$250 Pewter Sponsor** – Logo on website
* **$500 Bronze Sponsor** – Logo on website + social media recognition
* **$1,000 Silver Sponsor** – Logo on website, social media + printed materials
* **$2,500 Gold Sponsor** – Logo on website, social media, printed materials + recognition at the event
* **$5,000 Titanium Sponsor** – Logo on website, social media, printed materials + event recognition and opportunity to speak live at the event
All sponsorship contributions directly fund access to mental health care and support services for parents in need, while offering meaningful visibility within the community.
Sponsorship can be done through “Life with a baby” website under Flora’s Walk 2026. Each sponsorship in addition to the tiers set out by Life with a baby-Healthy Start Healthy Future will be acknowledged on our local social media page and at the event.
**Support from Small Businesses**
We warmly invite small businesses to get involved in ways that are impactful and accessible:

* One-time financial contributions
* Sponsorship at any level
* Partial proceeds from a product, service, or sales day
**Raffle Prize Donations**
