CreateAthon onCampus is program designed to give students a chance to learn and give back at the same time. Along with a class devoted to studying nonprofit communication needs, CreateAthon onCampus culminates in a 24-hour, work-around-the-clock creative blitz during Spring Break 2010.
VCU CreateAthon on Campus is a great opportunity for nonprofits to receive free marketing materials created by VCU student teams who are mentored by local professionals. For a third year, VCU’s CreateAthon onCampus is looking for Richmond area nonprofits who are in need of marketing and promotional materials including but not limited to: logo, letterhead, business cards, brochures, posters, press kits, newsletters and ads.
If you’re a nonprofit interested in applying, the deadline is this Friday 11/20, so act fast!
What a wonderful concept–giving students opportunities to market for real-world organizations, give back to the community, and build their portfolios. All the while, assisting nonprofits with minimal marketing budgets with fresh ideas, copy writing, and design. Thanks for a wonderful post! Love your writing….
