we want to thank DeBlaze & Associates for the remarkable
assistance for the following: (1) Timely news releases
that included more exacting, effective prose (2) The
Fox 2 television spot viewed by a number of people,
and even though some could not attend, it sparked increased
donations (3) The article written by Terry Perkins in
'Get-Out' encouraged walk-ins at the event, especially
students. Overall we would rate DeBlaze & Associates
an A in the overall effectiveness of public relations
for this special event. “
