Groups picked for CreateAthon
Montgomery-based LWT announced it has selected eight local organizations for this year's CreateAthon.
The organizations are National Alliance on Mental Illness of Alabama, Montgomery Public Schools Academy Program, Goodwill Industries of Central Alabama, Brantwood Children's Home, One Place Family Justice Center, Montgomery City-County Public Library System, KidOne Transport System and Dusty Trails Horse Rescue.
CreateAthon is the company's annual charity effort. Employees work for 24 straight hours on campaigns for area nonprofit groups at no charge.
This year's event will be Oct. 7-8.
"During this 24-hour period, we'll work on projects ranging from website development to branding to strategic marketing planning to brochure development," David Allred, an LWT principal, stated in a news release.
"CreateAthon allows our staff to give back to so many worthwhile organizations. It's worth the lost revenue and sleep to provide these pro bono services," he said.
