LOS ANGELES, Calif. /eNewsChannels/ — Neotrope and its Send2Press service recently “adopted” Starlight Children’s Foundation(TM) as its premier charity program recipient. Throughout the month of July as part of the adoption program, when a donor gives $50 or more to Starlight they will have the opportunity to issue a free national online press release through Neotrope’s Send2Press(R) Newswire service, which is syndicated worldwide and also appears on many top news sites and social networks in the Neotrope News Network, which generates nearly 20 million page views per month.
“This program rewards individuals and companies for being Starlight donors,” said Neotrope CEO, Christopher Laird Simmons; a member of PRSA and ASCAP. “Everyone has something to promote. If you make a small donation, you get an opportunity to publicize your company, your book, blog, gallery showing, or whatever newsworthy event or endeavor you may want to publicize. It’s a win-win for everyone.”
Donors will have until July 31, 2010 to make a qualifying donation at http://www.starlight.org/promotions . If they choose to donate $100 or more, donors will have the option to choose other Send2Press services at a discount (such as $100 off of a nationwide targeted media blitz). Neotrope’s Send2Press services can be utilized no sooner than 3 working days from the confirmed date of the donation and no later than October 1, 2010 (subject to all terms/limitations).
“Thanks to Neotrope’s generosity and pro bono public relations support of Starlight over the last year and a half, we know how valuable its PR distribution service is,” says Jenny Isaacson, Vice President of Brand Marketing and Communications, Starlight. “We hope that many people and businesses will make a donation and start to use Neotrope’s Send2Press service as a result. It’s a wonderful opportunity to easily support Starlight and get some real value for your donation.”
