Commemorative Lapel Pins to Raise Funds for and Remember a Worthy Cause
By Caryn Smith © 2010, All Rights Reserved
Non-profit and charitable organizations benefit tremendously from word-of-mouth advertising. The simple act of announcing an upcoming event or media strategy has measurable positive results. From launching a successful fundraiser to drumming up support in a community, custom lapel pins from Lapel Pins R Us are worth looking into because they serve as a visible marketing tool for groups like The Alex Foundation.
What Is the Alex Foundation?
The Alex Foundation, a customer of Lapel Pins R Us, is dedicated to supporting the research necessary to expand the knowledge surrounding the cognitive and communicative abilities of parrots. Alex, an African Grey Parrot, demonstrated his vocal skills by memorizing and speaking the vocal labels for a number of objects, actions, and colors. He was known around the world for his achievements and was the source of inspiration for the Foundation.
Custom lapel pins featuring his image and name as well as an awareness ribbon were created in an attempt to keep the parrot’s memory alive. Alex passed away in 2007 after living an incredibly motivating life. The Alex Foundation continues to praise the benefits of its research through a variety of vehicles. In addition to its website, people can learn more about the organization’s role by attending sponsored events and wearing their own Alex lapel pins.
How Do Custom Lapel Pins Help Non-Profits and Charitable Organizations?
Custom lapel pins help non-profit and charitable organizations in the following ways:
- They can be attached to a piece of custom cardstock for an effective and professional presentation option.
- They can be sold to attendees of events in an attempt to raise funds and awareness.
- They can be handed out to donors as a way of expressing gratitude.
- They can be given to volunteers as a form of identification and a thank you gift for participating in a fundraising event.
For even the most seasoned philanthropist, donating to a worthy cause takes time and research. Groups like the Alex Foundation, although monumental in their efforts, are often overshadowed by larger charitable organizations with full-scale advertising campaigns. Custom lapel pins help smaller charities step out of the shadows by drawing interest in their cause and giving the community something to stand behind.
