Community Observation For A Community

Every webpage is informative, whether its statistics, their presence in the news, or the several ways on how you can be involved. But it does not really stand out or differ from other charitable organizations. The website also doesn’t provide statements from families whom they’ve helped. Donors want to see that they’ve made a difference in someone’s life. A “thank you” video clip or photo of an assisted family or school group would probably have satisfied this issue and made this organization more desirable to participate in. It provides enough evidence for credibility from their existence in the news and links to their financial statements. It seems like a legit charitable organization with a good purpose but they also provide similar ethos as displayed in other websites, which in effect doesn’t necessarily derive an appeal to join this particular organization.

St. Jude Children’s hospital was established in February of 1962 with the “sole purpose of conducting basic and clinical research and treatment into catastrophic childhood diseases” (StJude.org). They have raised survival of childhood cancer from 20% to 80% since their opening through their research (Cancer.org). Even with an average of 7,800 patients a year and a 1.8 million daily operating cost, parents never pay anything for their child’s stay (StJude.org). The survival rate has raised and children are able to stay at no cost due to donations. Most of these donations come from people around the world that see St. Jude’s effective and strong advertisements. I will be analyzing three rhetoric’s ethos, logos, and pathos the hospital used to raise funds and make it effective.

In Youth Core we spend a lot of time cooking meals for those staying at the Ronald McDonald house, which is a place for families to stay who have children at Children’s Mercy Hospital under long term care. These families always walk in with their faces down and bags weighing heavily under their eyes and when they walk in and see that a large dinner is already being served, a smile can be seen stretching across their face. For them to be able to come back to the house and not having to worry about dinner during such a stressful time really helps them. After dinner they always come up and make sure to thanks us for what we've done. Through Youth Core I have also helped with the many city events such as Breakfast with Santa, the Daddy-Daughter Dance, The Princess Party, City Garage Sale, and a Fishing Derby. These events have led to me getting to know many community members and getting to know a lot of people around the city, as well as building connections and feeling like I truly am helping my community. I know these events have helped children enjoy their time as youth. My favorite experience was helping a little girl make a craft that said “baby girl’s first Christmas” due to her mom being pregnant, and once she went back to her mom, her mom looked at me with a genuine smile and said thank you. Seeing other people happy truly makes me happy, even if it’s just over the smallest things. I’m there to help those who are making memories and knowing this has made me a happier

Purpose: To inform my audience that there are kids out there that need our help and to have the audience persuade to donating.

I have taken an active role in many clubs and various activities during my high school career. I have donated most of my time, however, to the B+ club, as a leader sophomore and junior year and co-president senior year. B+ is an organization that raises funds for families battling pediatric cancer and for cancer research. The main event for our B+ club is the annual student-run volleyball tournament during the winter; it’s such a fun night filled with friendly rivalries on the court while thousands of dollars are raised for the organization. During my sophomore year, I helped implement a new “care package” program, which I have led and we have continued ever since. We fill the “care packages” with games, candy, blankets, and more, and given

One particular activity that I feel has made a difference in the community is my participation in Mini-THON, a student-led philanthropic organization that raises money for research in pediatric cancer and benefits Four Diamonds and Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. I have served as the Junior and Senior Co-Chair, or President, for the past two years, respectively. Each year, my responsibilities have expanded from simply attending meetings and contributing ideas for fundraisers, to actively coordinating meetings and organizing fundraisers with local businesses. For example, our club held our first annual “Teenie-THON” for elementary school students. We spent countless hours creating advertisements and permission slips for the participants.

I found a a non-profit called Help Guide. The currency is recent on an article I found in on the site was released on March 2014. This website is geared toward an individual instead of a business approach. This site features mental health issues instead of focusing on leadership. It may help leaders manage the stress that usually comes along in running a business. This website can help me in the future with my career in human services. There are several authors contributing to an this website. For example, one holds a doctorate with 40 years of experience and another has a master's degree in Educational Psychology. Another person is a free-lance writer with over ten years of experience. This website is equipped with many experts, has a panel of board members and consultants. The purpose of their site came after the suicide of their daughter. The mission after her death for her parents was a website to educate others to avoid another tragedy. The site attracted more than 65 million visits in

The first settlers came to Apex NC in the 1860s. Not too long after settlement, the town was incorporated in 1873. Most of the history of Apex is derived from the railroad system that went through the community. Even the town’s name can be traced by to the system. As the highest point along the railroad between Richmond, Virginia to Jacksonville, Florida, the town was named Apex.

I wish to talk about an organization which is currently in operation, and whose internal structures and staffs I have been very familiar with for the past twenty-six years. The organization is called Builders for the Family and Youth (BFFY). BFFY is a nonprofit organization which is owned by Catholic Charity. The organization owns several facilities which are homes to different population of people. Some facilities house a Mentally Ill Homeless (MIH) population; while other facilities house a Mentally Ill Chemical Abuser (MICA) population. Each facility owned by BFFY has its own Administrator. Each of BFFY's facilities provide specific services to its population. All of BFF's facilities have two specific goals in common, and they are:

Setting up the ‘Heal the World’ Foundation which aims at providing medicine for children and fighting world hunger, drug and alcohol abuse, and child abuse

Another problem involves the increased time required to identify a given issue, as well as the best practice to formulate and pass a given message. Finally, the hospital faces negative perception by the local patients, which is generated from individual beliefs and perceptions. To curb these challenges, the SickKids Hospital has developed a suitable financial base such as appropriate shareholder and investor inclusion to raise funds for their physicians, communication platforms, and education to alter the perception of the local individuals (Wong, 2012). Together with the inclusion of varying investors, the hospital has broadened its services to include indulgence in charity work. This enables the hospital to develop suitable corporate social responsibility strategies that boosts its finances. In additional, the charity work enables the hospitals to develop a suitable consumer environment that links its operations to its performance and productivity objectives. Donations and Christmas gifts have also contributed largely to funding the SickKids Hospital. Corporate programs within the hospital have been developed to ensure that donations and gifts are accepted at a specified time with suitable compensation for individuals who offer the

The community rotation was very challenging. At the beginning I thought I would be educating veterans about overall nutrition and referring them to nutrition programs designed to prevent disease and promote health. Nonetheless, it was a lot more than that. First of all, I had just finished my food service rotation and had no have the chance to interact with any patients. Thus, I had to learn quickly how to work with the Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) which is the software used to enter patients’ information and write notes (Department of Veterans Affairs, 2005). After one day in my community rotation I was already seeing patients on my own and writing notes.

In the maximization of its impact in the community, McKesson has aligned its signature volunteer programs with the funding area of Company’s foundation. Both of the programs’ main focus is cancer management, specifically giving non-medical direct services to needy cancer patients. The area is of great need, and it is linked closely to the core competencies of the Organization as a healthcare company (McKesson, n.d.). The McKesson Company has community days, which is the symbol of yearly all-employee volunteering event. In the community days, the workers take part in coordinated groups; volunteer their objects at the Company’s website being led by the volunteer
