Nonprofit Spotlights:
Pennies for Poverty: 2 Cents 4 Change, Inc. is sponsoring "Nonprofit Spotlights" on Media One in order to increase public awareness of available services and programs as well as providing added visibility for local non-profits that may be looking for people/organizations for extra help to bridge the gap during budget short-falls. Let's get to know our area non-profits and the programs and people who work to make our neighborhood in the world a better place to live.
Non-Profits: Would you like your nonprofit to be spotlighted for a half hour Media One "Non Profit Spotlight" in-depth look at what you do? Send Jay an email to arrange for a taping! Do you have a specific event that you would like advertised? Let us know and we will create a PowerPoint slide which will be displayed during the normal Channel 10 public service announcements. For more information, to sign up to be spotlighted, or to have a Power Point slide made, please contact Jay Jorgenson by email at jorgensonj@aol.com.
