Red Ball Productions, a local leader in portable and modular display solutions and convention services provider, is spearheading a pajama drive for the charitable organization "Helen's Pajama Party to Protect Women", at this year's NWA Business Women's Conference. The pajamas will be donated to the Benton County Women's Shelter and Washington County's Peace at Home Family Shelter, two local shelters that serve 600+ homeless and abused women and children each year.
Founder of Helen's Pajama Party, Kelly Sargent, President of Brainstorm Marketing, got the idea to donate new pajamas to emergency shelters for women in Des Moines two years ago. She established the organization "Helen's Pajama Party to Protect Women" in memory of her mother. To date, her efforts have resulted in the collection of over 3,000 sets of new pajamas for distribution to shelters throughout Iowa..
NWA Business Women's Conference attendees wishing to participate in the drive may bring a pair of new-with-tags pajamas, in women's sizes small to 2x/XXL, to Helen's Pajama Party exhibit sponsored by Red Ball Production's during show hours on September 30th. Donations will also be accepted at Curves locations in Bella Vista, Bentonville, Fayetteville, Siloam Springs and Springdale, Red Ball Productions at 228-C S. 40th Street in Springdale and at the Bentonville/Bella Vista Chamber of Commerce at 200 E. Central Avenue in Bentonville. All locations will be accepting donations through the entire month of September.
Kelly Sargent, Founder of Helen's Pajama Party will be speaking at the Business Women's Conference on September 30th. Red Ball Productions has donated their exhibit space where Kelly Sargent will share her story of the founding of Helenšs Pajama Party to Protect Women several times throughout the day.
