I Volunteer Full Time For A Non Profit Animal Rescue Group

The Coastal Bend Day of Giving’s strengths embody advantages that can boost a compelling social media marketing campaign. The strengths include a strong campaign mission supported by the inspiring missions of all the involved nonprofits, an increasing donor base, matching contributions, numerous options of nonprofit organizations available for donations, and established social media sites. The motivating missions create differentiation so that consumers want to donate to the cause. In fact, the tagline of the Coastal Bend Day of Giving is “Fight Hunger - Support Children - Rescue Animals - Reduce Homelessness - Right Here in the Coastal Bend.” The donor base has increased from 1,423 in 2009 to 6,648 in 2014 while matching contributions have risen from $152,000 in 2009 to $565,000 in 2014. Because there were over 35 organizations to choose from, many donors had no problem finding an organization that meant the most to them. The event has existing social media sites that can be leveraged to increase visibility and encourage

I am interested in pursuing a degree in business because a variety of job opportunities are represented within the field. My parents also owned their own business, which was the main reason I wanted to pursue a business degree. I was inspired by their work ethics, and how they overcame their struggles and obtained success within their business and recognition in society. Originally, my major was in management. However, I recently became more interested in an ISOM major after attending an “Ask the Professionals” event. This is because an ISOM major combines both business and IT skills to provide a unique skill set that is highly sought after in the current job market. My ideal job upon graduation would be working in a company like Freddie Mac where I can apply my knowledge and work within a team setting.

Out of the many significant and growing commitments I have, “BASD Mini-Thon” is the most meaningful. Mini-Thon is a completely student-run committee at my school that raises money for the Four Diamonds Fund, a non-profit organization that supports families suffering with pediatric cancer. Our committee emulates the annual “Thon” event at Penn State, which is essentially a dance marathon in the honor of the suffering children. Although we have one dance marathon a year, my committee regularly has worthwhile fundraisers that support the purpose. As fundraising captain, I manage and organize many of the charitable events that take place. So far this year, I initiated events such as 5k runs and restaurant nights that have helped with reaching our total fundraising goal of $45,000. Overall, this event has brought my community together to support an amazing cause.

General business classes working towards business administration degree with a major in accounting, and a minor in management information systems. Currently, I have a 4.0 in all my business classes and have completed managerial and financial accounting. I am in running for magna cum laude distinction.

My work is well-suited for benefit shows for social justice issues. Recently, I participated in a benefit show auction for Standing Rock hosted by Studio and Art Gallery called “Cranky Yellow” based In South City Saint Louis and another South City Venue called “Plow” that does fund raising for people in need and social justice issues in the Saint Louis area. Both venues raised money for supplies for the water protectors at Standing Rock-- money raised gave them a great ability to keep fighting. With Plow, the fund-raiser was to help raised money for the venue to continue hosting benefit shows which contribute money towards these and other organizations fighting racism and hate groups in the St. Louis area, people struggling with legal issues in regards to their abusers, and urban

I decided to start volunteering at the local humane society because I’ve always been really passionate about animals and wanted to start benefiting them in the community. Prior to my service I was delighted because I’ve wanted to start volunteering for years and was glad the opportunity had presented itself. Throughout my experience I learned a great deal and met a lot of new people. Even though I’ve only just started serving my time at the Fox Valley Humane Association I can truly see the difference it has made in the community.

I am part the United Way committee at my work place. This past year we raised $377,000 in countless fundraisers. I also am helping with an organization that touches home with me, The Circle of Hope. I am creating the T-Shirt for this year’s, “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” which is an event that raises money and awareness for domestic violence, rape victims and more.

I have volunteered more than 1700 hours in the last four years and currently am in charge of two projects (care packages for homeless, PowerPack Yuma).

Since Jesse was a friend of mine, I have been supporting this foundation from the moment it started with a swim-a-thon for Jesse’s Joy Jar program. Working to help children with cancer have some joy in their life during their struggle with the disease is so important. My focus was to create awareness about the foundation, to raise funds through cupcake sales (that was her favorite) and work at the foundation filling Joy Jars. We were successful at accomplishing these goals, but I would have liked to do more. We had over 100 people show up for our first few meetings and that did fall to just about 50 people participating in various events. However, the people who continued to come to the club meetings were amazing, and at our first Courageous Cupcake stand, everyone brought home-made cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and fudge! We all worked so hard and ended up making $200, which we donated to Jessie’s foundation. Over the year we worked so hard together and we were all so happy to know we were making a

However, I have become a mini entrepreneur, starting my own eBay business, which has turned me into a strategist. Not only do I find eBay fun, but the website has helped me develop my leadership and communication skills with my clients, as well as my ability to network. As a result, my love of marketing will make me an effective business major. I intend to use my skills in Florida State University’s College of Business. In FSU’s College of Business I would like to immerse myself in business related opportunities, and interact with professional organizations through corporate trips, competitions and industry-specific career fairs. By committing to programs such as the American Marketing Association Student Chapter (AMA), I will be able to develop my leadership skills and use these skills in marketing. I would love to participate in the Logo Contest, and the Involvement Fair that the AMA Group is known for. In the Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization (CEO), I intend to become a great entrepreneur and have the ability to explore opportunities through business creation. These programs will enrich my artistic and marketing abilities, and guide me to become a skilled

Recently, I partnered with an organization called S.H.A.P.E (Self-esteem, Harmony, Awareness, Pride, & Education) to assist with fund raising for scholarships. I created a T-Shirt for the organization and 100% of the proceeds went towards to scholarship. This opportunity gave me a chance to take the leadership role on creating the necessary steps in organizing and managing with the founding leaders. This scholarship was able to raise $1,500 and three $500 scholarships were presented to students in need of the financial

I'm Brian B, a United States navy veteran. Please, call me Pro. I served on active duty from August 14th, 1994 to December 10th, 1998. I was attached to VFA-97 and deployed aboard USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63), and USS Carl Vinson (CV-70). I was an AT3 at the time of my discharge, and maintained F/A-18 aircraft that flew Operation Southern Watch, enforcing the southern no fly zone over Iraq.

Over the last several years, I have volunteered with local nonprofit organizations designed to aid

My immediate and long term goals are as follows: obtaining a Masters degree in Educational Leadership. My long term goal is to open a Charter School in my neighborhood, which would service Caribbean-American Children. I strongly believe in community building, and opening this Charter is my way of giving back to my community. This population usually consists of at-risk children and their families. If I could accomplish my plan, it would be the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. I have taken the necessary steps in maintaining a close relationship with business associates in my neighborhood.

At this important juncture in my professional career, I have, after careful consideration of my abilities, academic background and career goals decided to pursue a graduate degree in Project Management which will help me hone my management knowledge and analytical abilities along with interpersonal and leadership skills.
