Event Publicity Plan

Project details

What we need
  • An event publicity plan for promoting an upcoming event, and/or securing coverage of the event itself
  • A press release (who, what, why, when, where) about the event to send out to media contacts
  • A list of key media contacts to reach out to about the event, and/or invite to the event
  • Detailed instructions on how and when to reach out to media
  • Social media posts (twitter, instagram, facebook) to complement media outreach, if applicable
  • Note: This project does not necessarily include on-site event attendance by the Professional, or on-site media check-in or management at the event. This may be requested or offered, but will depend on the Professional's location and availability.
Additional details

We LOVE to have someone from the Greater Philadelphia area who knows the market, but it is a wish list item!

What we have in place
  • We currently have messaging for the turkey trot and a media alert to update, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a facebook and instagram accounts, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $6,262 , allowing us to Feed more people!

The Turkey Trot, a 5 mile run on Thanksgiving morning, is our most significant fundraising event. It is also a wonderful opportunity to market our work to the wider Delaware Valley audience. Now in its 26th year and with over 1000 runners, it has been a success. We hope to expand this success as well as publicize a new feature this year, Traveling Trotters, where people who are not able to be with us locally could do a run on their own or with family and friend and raise funds.
