PWRC Ambassador Sponsorship Program
Sponsoring our amazing Education Ambassadors will help purchase handling equipment, their medical expenses, and food for one year. All monthly sponsorships qualify for PWRC membership, newsletter, a picture and bio of the ambassador. Sponsorships over $100 will receive a Virtual presentation and any sponsorship over $200 will receive a presentation with the ambassador at an event or school of your choice. Even our retired ambassadors still need to be cared for the rest of their life.
