Partnering with the Westport Young Woman’s League (WYWL) as a sponsor offers a unique opportunity to support our community while gaining valuable visibility for your business. Your sponsorship directly benefits our Grants Program, which funds local non-profit organizations that focus on education, healthcare, and social services in Fairfield County. With your help, we can continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most.

We offer two major fundraising events that serve as premier opportunities for sponsorship:

• CraftWestport
  Held annually, CraftWestport is Connecticut’s longest-running indoor fine crafts event, featuring over 175 artists and artisans from across the country. This event draws thousands of attendees and is a perfect venue for holiday shopping, offering a wide range of unique items including jewelry, ceramics, fine art, and fashion.

• Minute Man Race
  This signature annual race event includes a certified USA Track and Field 10k Run, 5k Run, and 5k Walk, along with a Kids Fun Run. The race attracts a broad audience of families, athletes, and community members, making it an ideal event for sponsor visibility.

Support Local Charities: All proceeds from our fundraisers go directly into the WYWL Grants Program, which has donated over $4.6 million to non-profits in Fairfield County since 1956.

Brand Exposure: Sponsoring WYWL events gives your business visibility among thousands of attendees at CraftWestport and the Minute Man Race.

Community Impact: Your sponsorship shows your commitment to local causes and helps us continue to improve the lives of children, families, and underserved women in our community.
