TRIO WORKS 24-HOURS TO HELP LOCAL NONPROFITS

Charleston, SC - Trio Solutions Inc. invites local nonprofit organizations to apply for the 11th annual CreateAthon®, scheduled for September 18, 2008.

CreateAthon® is a 24-hour, work-around the clock creative blitz during which Trio Solutions Inc. provides marketing and creative services to Lowcountry nonprofit organizations on a pro-bono basis. The selected nonprofits have little or no marketing budgets. Trio Solutions is the official CreateAthonŽ agency for the Charleston-metro area.

CreateAthon® was created by RIGGS advertising agency out of Columbia, South Carolina in 1998. Since the program's expansion from a single market to an international effort in 2001, 40 agencies have joined the CreateAthon® network, holding CreateAthon® events in their cities. This effort has benefited 1,008 nonprofit organizations with 2,143 projects valued at $8.5 million.

"Nonprofits continue to struggle for funding," says Krista Robertson, vice president of marketing for Trio Solutions. "Money for marketing is often the first to go, so we're happy to offer a program that can help address some of those needs."

The round-the-clock creative work will begin at 8 a.m. on Thursday. Work will be presented to the nonprofits on Friday at 8 a.m. Trio Solutions Inc. will receive client changes Saturday morning at 8 a.m., then put the pieces on press.

The deadline for CreateAthon® 2008 applications is July 28. Five organizations will be selected by Trio Solutions Inc. to receive CreateAthon® 2008 services and will be announced in August. Download application.
