Joining at the friends level are Earth Creations and Aloe Up.

“Our corporate partners provide us with the means to do more for our members and are, in large part, the primary reason for our growth,” stated Kristi Rummel, Chair of the Fundraising committee and National Advertising Director for Sierra magazine. “It is extremely exciting to have so many industry leaders recognize the value in OIWC sponsorship.”
