GivingTuesday GiveCorps Infographic

At GiveCorps we decided that it would be better to show visually all we had accomplished through GivingTuesday! Here is the infographic I created!

#GivingTuesday

The week after Thanksgiving leads to black Friday and cyber Monday, both holidays about buying and buying frivolously. However a new holiday appeared this year: Giving Tuesday-- a holiday rooted in giving to others.

The company I work for, GiveCorps, became an official sponsor of Giving Tuesday (more commonly known as #GivingTuesday on twitter) and they are matching donations up to $5000. Not only that but givers will still be rewarded with the normal local business coupons! 

Start your holiday spirit right by donating and by enjoying my poorly photoshopped Giving Tuesday givers lining up to donate at GiveCorps!

Happy Anniversary GiveCorps!

This Thursday marked GiveCorps One Year Anniversary!

I made my way down to Baltimore with my boyfriend Jake to celebrate and to see all of the planning, designing and hard work finally come together! Opening the boxes that were delivered to the office was literally like Christmas morning (I am pretty sure everyone has now confirmed that I am actually crazy)! All in all it was 1,600 napkins (6 different styles), 2,500 raffle tickets, 1,000 tshirts (2 colors), 300 custom name tags, 14 different 20x30in posters & 6 combination moustache and monocle props to take the most wonderful pictures! 

Here are some wonderful pictures of the designed items that I created finally in real life!

& remember you don't have to be rich to be a philanthropist!

Philanthropists Wanted

If you are from the Baltimore area, you are in luck! 

This summer I worked for GiveCorps as their marketing intern and I had the opportunity to plan their one year anniversary! The party is on October 11th and everyone is invited.  

The best part is you don't even need a ticket, just bring full change jar to enter! 

(what a wonderful marketing idea, right!?)

All of the money raised goes to local Baltimore non-profits organizations all of whom you get to meet at the event. 

Check out the poster I made this summer to learn more and make sure to check out GiveCorps on Facebook & Twitter!

Here is one promise, I will not be the one counting the change.

P.S. There is obviously swag involved. Check out the shirt I made!
