Some
might say we have a cushy job here at CM Communications, devoting most
of our time to designing and executing marketing campaigns that
encourage people to take vacations, eat, drink and shop! That's right,
it's fun and not a bad way to make a living. Less obvious are the
efforts we put behind a number of philanthropic organizations, either as
pro bono assignments or through events and partnerships forged between
our clients and charities.
For instance, throughout October, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Wahlburgers will launch its Tot Pink Campaign pledging 50 cents for each order of tater tots to their local Susan G. Komen chapter.
We're also pleased to tell you about Be Bold, Be Bald, founded by our friends and colleagues at Small Army for a Cause.
On November 2nd, participants in this one-day national event will wear a
bald cap to honor the strength and courage of cancer patients, and
raise funds through sponsors who make pledges to support their bold
statement.
In anticipation of the season of giving, Boston's top chefs are preparing for the Annual Gingerbread House Competition
at The Christmas Festival at Boston's Seaport World Trade Center from
November 2-4. Their culinary confections will be sold with proceeds
going to Housing Families, a non-profit organization dedicated to ending family homelessness in Massachusetts.
With
presidential candidates flaunting divergent views on the distribution
of wealth in this country, it's nice to see that regardless of political
persuasion hard working folks are carrying on and pulling together to
support those in need.
And
let's not forget all of you who continue to take vacations, eat, drink
and shop, fueling the economy, thereby creating jobs for others, so they
too can take vacations, eat, drink, and shop! In other words, what goes
around comes around, and it's all good.
Ciao for now!
