Rising Star Outreach

Promotional Posters
I wrote and designed five 3x5 foot posters. These posters outline the four major initiatives of Rising Star Outreach. The posters are used at conventions, fairs and other promotional activities to attract attention and provide an overview of the nonprofit's mission and goals.

Donation & Sponsorship Cards
Included below is the front and back of a 4x6 inch sponsorship and donation card. I wrote and designed 156 of these cards, one for each of the children attending the Rising Star Outreach school. The cards were given to companies who sponsored Rising Star Outreach. Near Christmastime, the cards were displayed by these companies in a public place, where their respective employees could come and choose a child to donate to or sponsor.

East Coast Barbecue
I assisted in planning and executing this fundraiser event. My role was to help promote the fundraiser through the creation and distribution of promotional materials (flyers and posters). I also helped create and manage a Facebook event page to promote the fundraiser. Additionally, I designed the event's logo pictured below, which was used on t-shirts and the printed promotional materials. The fundraiser was attended by over 500 college students and raised over $10,000.

"Be The Change" Benefit Dinner
I helped plan and execute this event. I came up with the name for the event and assisted in planning the event's program, including finding a caterer, entertainment and companies to sponsor our raffle and silent auction. I also helped design invitations and other promotional images for the event, including the webpage icon pictured below. The benefit dinner was held in the Energy Solutions Arena. It was hosted by Randy Rigby, president of the Utah Jazz. Despite inclement weather, the dinner had over 200 attendees. While the intent of the event was simply to express appreciation for the charitable donations of several individuals, families and companies, the event also raised over $5,000.

Christmas Card for Volunteers & Donors
I created this Christmas card to thank those who donated or volunteered their time to Rising Star Outreach in 2012. The back of the card contained a small thank you message and was hand-signed by the president, the founder and the chief operating officer. Over 500 of these cards were distributed.

Information Booklet/Powerpoint Presentation
I wrote and designed a 14-page information booklet. Similar to a media kit, this booklet provided an overview of Rising Star Outreach, including information on its mission, board of directors, partnering companies, etc. This information booklet was used when presenting to new potential corporate sponsors. An abbreviated version of the booklet was used as a PowerPoint presentation to these corporations. The information booklet was then given to the company to keep and refer to.

"Be the Change" Blog Name, Header and Layout. 
I came up with "Be the Change" as the title for the official blog of Rising Star Outreach. I also created the blog header and assisted in designing the blog's layout. The blog is instrumental in helping Rising Star Outreach promote itself to potential volunteers and donors. The blog can be viewed online at http://rsoutreach.blogspot.com/
