Since March 2001, Bean Soup Times has been a powerful source for marketing, public relations, networking, promotions and business support. For nine plus years we have been a consistent source of information providing Black Chicago with important, first-hand news. We are proud to serve our online community of 20,000 Black consumers via emails, social media, text which we love dearly.

Brothers and sisters, my work for national nonprofits, international news outlets, labor unions, and for a senior member of the Unites States Congress has made me very aware about the issues affecting the Black community.

That's why, although we offer incredibly low prices for our services, we understand the challenges that many not for profit businesses in our community face and therefore want to provide media sponsorship opportunities.

I've written grants and schmooze funders. I understand. I've reported on gut wrenching stories like Girl X, Death Row 10 and many more. I understand. Working for a nonprofit, I've flown to D.C. to petition our government for assistance and working for Congressman Bobby L. Rush, I've flown to D.C. to listen to others who came to petition our government. I understand.

That's why Bean Soup Times wants to help you connect and grow and therefore are offering, once again, our exclusive online media exposure sponsorships.

Our Bean Soup Times online media sponsorship will include:

1. three social media eblasts ($375 value)


2. one SEO news release distributed ($100 value)


3. news release posted on beansouptimes.com
   
   That's nearly $500 worth of exposure for FREE for organizations selected.
