How Can You Help?

We know that many claims are made on your charitable contributions. However, NABS is the only charity dedicated to helping those in the advertising/communications industry. Without NABS, we could not have been able to:

• Give short-term financial assistance to thousands of your peers. The average period of assistance is three months, with an average payout of just over $2,000
• Built a specially equipped washroom for the disabled children of a colleague working in our industry
• Counseled hundreds of people at the end of their rope
• Helped recently-widowed colleagues deal with depression, financial need and career counseling
• Save lives - several people that we have helped tell us NABS literally saved their lives

We do important work, but the demand is growing and our events can only generate so much. What can you do? Here's a list:

• Divert some of your United Way contributions to NABS this year. We recommend at least 25%. Just write NABS in the appropriate place and quote our charitable number: #11905 1357 RR
• Many people send us post-dated cheques to spread their contributions out over the year.
• Make NABS the charity of choice for your company event. We can suggest many fund-raising ideas for such an event.
• Add a "NABS TAX" onto the price of your event ticket.
• Definitely buy a ticket for each and every event.
