MONTGOMERY -- Nine non-profit organizations from the River Region
will benefit from advertising and marketing services provided by LWT
Communications and LWT/KBK New Media in the companies’ fifth annual
CreateAthon.
The event, scheduled for Sept. 21-Sept. 22, is a
24-hour work-around-the-clock effort that will provide free creative
services to area non-profit organizations.
The companies
received 35 applications from non-profit agencies requesting more than
75 projects. After analyzing each application, selections were made
based on the mission of the organization, on the type of work requested
and on how the firms’ expertise would most benefit the needs of each
applicant.
The organizations selected as CreateAthon clients
are: Leadership Montgomery, Montgomery Tree Committee, Montgomery
Coalition of Historic Districts, Alabama-Tombigbee Clean Water
Partnership, The Kelley Bartlett Conservancy, Tukabatchee Area
Council/Boy Scouts of America, Catholic Social Services, Children's
Trust Fund of Alabama and Alabama Council for Technology in Education.
"We’ll
perform a range of services for the organizations during this 24-hour
period," said agency partner Jim Leonard. "Projects range from Web
development to logo design to strategic marketing planning to brochure
development. It will be worth the lost revenue and sleep to provide
these services to area organizations who normally couldn't afford them."
