Building Bridges for Business Decides Hugs Are Important, Too!
Sponsors Hug-a-Thon Pittsburgh™ Day
PITTSBURGH, PA, July, 2012 – Building Bridges for Business has joined the growing list of sponsors of Hug-a-Thon Pittsburgh™ Day. The announcement was made today by Joanne Quinn-Smith, AKA Techno Granny, Creative Energy Officer, Dreamweaver Marketing Associates; Publisher, PositivelyPittsburghLiveMagazine.com; and Founder of Hug-a-Thon Pittsburgh™ Day
“We wanted to sponsor Hug-a-Thon Pittsburgh Day, because making Pittsburgh better known in the Tri-State area and the United States benefits everyone here, from our residents to our businesses and charities,” said Linda Handley, Founder of Building Bridges for Business.
Quinn-Smith warmly welcomed Handley’s sponsorship. “Our thanks go out to Linda for her sponsorship of Hug-a-Thon Pittsburgh,” she said. “Building Bridges for Business and Hug-a-Thon Pittsburgh are both about furthering a positive image for Pittsburgh. So it just makes sense.”
Sponsors for Hug-a-Thon Pittsburgh plug into 1 million accumulated listeners of the PositivelyPittsburghLive ™ Radio Network, growing at 11.6 percent per month. This network scores 220,000 hits per month and 62,000 page views.
Hug-a-Thon sponsorships are available from $50 to $50,000. To fund a sponsorship, individuals, businesses, and organizations are encouraged to call Al Levine, Community Relations & Development Director of Hug-a-Thon Pittsburgh at 412-973-9611.
Building Bridges for Business provides the resources, events and education to help you, the entrepreneur. Its arsenal consists of workshops aimed at your needs, partnerships with organizations around the city and county and events, both live and virtual, to answer your most pressing questions.
The first, annual Hug-a-Thon Pittsburgh™ Day brings local, regional, and national exposure and recognition for the City of Pittsburgh and to four, non-profit organizations—Cancer Caring Center, Sickle Cell Society, Inc., Pittsburgh Passion’s Passion for Life Foundation, and Operation Troop Appreciation.
A number of activities during 2012 will culminate in a major event on September 6, 2012.
