Honoring a Gentleman

Bill (William P.) Densmore will be honored this weekend during a fundraising event for the Worcester-based Center for Nonviolent Solutions. I met Bill first as a client, when Better Ending Partnership was in need of a year-long PR campaign to go public and make serious inroads in the New England public eye. As we began to work together very closely, I quickly grew to respect and admire this accomplished Worcesterite, perhaps the best-known mover and shaker in the city. With a quiet manner and an irresistible smile, Bill brought people together for all the right reasons: education, business sustainability, conflict resolution, health care, and so much more. He is credited for the creation of dozens of nonprofit groups and initiatives, and continues to look for more ways to help his beloved community. I have learned much about work and life from this special man, and consider him a fellow dog lover and a good friend.

Last week the Worcester Tornadoes once again held a Bark in the Park event, a fundraiser for Worcester Animal Rescue League. What a great concept that accomplishes so much: raises awareness about the shelter as well as much-needed funds, gives pet lovers who are also baseball fans an especially fun night out, and encourages responsible pet ownership (and good dog behavior) in a very public setting. High marks all around.

Hasbro Children's Hospital and The Walk

Now in it's third year of success, The Walk: Hasbro Children's Hospital continues to raise awareness and dollars for the world class medical facility in Providence RI.  I was very pleased and honored to provide the initial PR services (as On Target Communications) and be a part of the 12-months+ of planning and promotion for this significant first-time effort for HCH. Here is a link to the first year's press release distributed by PR Newswire in 2009.  Hasbro Children's Hospital Kicks Off Inaugural Fundraising Walk

Good luck to the Lifespan and HCH teams as they continue the mission on September 24, 2011!

Writing for ShrewsburyPatch.com to promote the pets at WARL

Tika, one of the senior pets at WARL who's been waiting for her forever family.

Read this piece and others written for online weekly ShrewsburyPatch.com. It has been a good outlet to regularly promote homeless pets available for adoption at the 99 year old Worcester Animal Rescue League (WARL).
