Companies have an easier time dedicating marketing funds as a sponsor if they know proceeds are going to charity. Also, media will be drawn to the chance to talk about the non-profit organization benefiting from the event and the school responsible for such a commitment to their global community. • Geography Action! (GA!) has a long-standing partnership with Newspapers in Education, a national program encouraging connections between schools and newspapers. Contact your local newspapers to see if they have an NIE* Coordinator and see if they would like to collaborate on the event. * (Newspapers In Education) |
