Promo Opp: Assistance and Pet Care for Non-Profit Animal Shelter McKamey Animal Care & Adoption Center in Tennessee

Heather Rockensuess — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 13:52:39 +0000

I’m seeking information regarding proper pet care, aid to homeless animals, and prevention of overpopulation. I have teamed with a local pet-care facility, the McKamey Animal Care & Adoption Center in Chattanooga, Tenn., and would like to aid the facility in any capacity possible in collecting the resources they need to aid their homeless pets. This is a no-kill, not-for-profit shelter that operates solely on donations. I am seeking professionals in the industry to form relationships, exchange information and hopefully obtain product donations for their up-and-coming drive.

The McKamey Animal Care & Adoption Center operates under four main pillars:
Spay/neuter - Provide spay/neuter to all animals in our care.

Advocacy - Be recognized, respected and trusted as the leading resource, advocate and educator on animal welfare issues in our region. We will rescue, provide shelter, heal and help find forever homes for animals in need.

Enforcement - Through education and leadership, we will work to improve local, regional and state ordinances and laws that pertain to animals and animal care. Actively promote humane behavior, respect for animals and the public, and professionalism for Animal Services.

Education - Promote the humane care of animals by educating our volunteers and the community on spay/neuter, long-term pet care and owner responsibility while inspiring community action and compassion on behalf of animals.

The center is in need of the following: http://www.mckameyanimalcenter.org/?page_id=199.

I’d really appreciate the assistance of anyone who can help, or put me in contact with those who can. I am a journalist and a blogger whose personal Web site reaches 550,000 unique views each month. I will not only blog about the donations (there is an event this Saturday), but I will additionally take the story to the local paper here. And, McKamey would of course place any information about donations and those who help on their site and at the shelter on display.

Promo Opp: Celebrity Advocate for Cause-Oriented Fashion

Heather Rockensuess — Wed, 13 May 2009 13:34:29 +0000

Art of Possibility Studios has launched a new line of “Phenominoes” pendants — a whimsical, low-cost fashion accessory featuring extraordinary artwork on the backs of real dominoes, done by famous blind painters. These Phenominoes add a fun, unique and trendy twist to any ensemble while supporting disabled artists (whose artwork is featured on the pendants) in their quest for financial self-sufficiency, an endeavor many celebrities and high-profile personalities would certainly applaud.

Towards this end, with the July anniversary of the American’s with Disabilities Act, which guarantees equal employment and other opportunity for people with disabilities, looming up ahead, Art of Possibility Studios is seeking celebrity advocates and spokespersons who would be willing to publicly wear a complimentary pendant as a show of support for the handicapped artist community, for whom the phrase “starving artist” can be all too real, given their limitations.

Endorsing and wearing this pendant and having a photo featured in the company’s press and marketing materials (that we hope to get further picked up by media outlets) would also be a show of support for cause-conscious fashion, entrepreneurism and consumerism at large, which can indeed “make a difference” in people’s lives — celebrities and others who are fashion-conscious can “vote their values” by what they choose to wear. All of these activities can help generate goodwill publicity in your and your client’s collective favor.

Please advise if one or more of your high-profile clients would be interested in wearing a Phenominoes pendant in public, to not only look great but also publicly support and bring much-needed awareness to this noble cause. Please take a look at the available designs here and let me know which you would like shipped for consideration (include mailing address), the celebrity/personality who would be wearing it, and whether or not he or she would be willing to supply a photo of themself either holding or wearing the pendant.

More information on the product launch will follow. Contact Merilee Kern of Kern Communications at merilee@kerncommunications.com by Dec. 31.
