Advertising agencies across America are assisting 15 New Orleans non-profit organizations as beneficiaries during National CreatAthon week, scheduled September 11-16th, 2006.
In addition to the New Orleans nonprofits, CreatAthon affiliates will be serving more than 150 nonprofits in their local communities during the program this year.
Locally, Global Media Guru, based in Downingtown, with former local reporter/editor, Michele Paiva, as its Creative Director, will be serving and underwriting the following nonprofits with free advertising, press and media relations, branding, brochure and newsletter development and more; in a 24-hour around the clock creative blitz that will officially commence with a “normal” workweek on September 11th.
Of the agencies who expressed interest, we congratulate the following organizations chosen:
The Second Mile: Executive Director, Mr. Sean Saunders. The Second Mile, founded in 1977 by Jerry Sandusky, former Football Defensive Coordinator for Penn State, provides a network of prevention, early intervention, and community-based development programs and services free of charge to school-aged children across Pennsylvania.

Their office was destroyed, and they work now from a grassroots effort from homes of volunteers.
