Tim,

All great news. The grill however is being provided by Border Construction Specialties, my company. This event is now an official charity event for our company also which will hopefully mean an additional 10-20 volunteers. I'm working with our charity committee to iron out the monetary particulars for our food needs. Hoping to get some rough counts over the next week so that I can start working out the burger budget.
 
If we have as big a turnout as it sounds like, we really need to get some media attention. What is planned or what are our resources for this?
 
None planned yet. Tim's been trying to get any one of the news channels on it to no avail. You have anything?

Anyone know a newspaper guy...:D
 
Already sent a PM... waiting for reply.
 
Well, one thing I thought is it might be a good 1 pager with pics for TT - I know wrong audience for public awareness, but its a start...

How about as a contribution to any of the local outdoor magazines, etc?

Howdy! I can take a hint. I'm workin on it, but unfortunately, it appears that the white collar ears at PNI are pretty deaf to the blue collar voices. I have tried several different approaches to make contact, and they just don't seem to want to know about it. I think I might do better at Channel 12, as Gannett owns them too. I'm still workin on it. John
 
Thanks for the help guys. Media is a tough one. I'll let you know what I've done so far and take any suggestions you've got.

I hope you guys don't mind me posting the logo's. I want to give credit and thanks to the companies helping out.

I wanted to thank Border Construction Specialties for stepping up big with the giant grill. Brandon, the president of Copper State Cruisers has gotten burgers and the use of this trailer sized grill donated for the clean-up! Thank YOU!

I posted fliers in the REI in Paradise Valley and I am going to put some up around work tomorrow. I gave a couple of fliers to my daughter to post at ASU Tempe campus.
 
I know a producer at Channel 12 (did a piece on one of my buildings last Spring...) and a reporter at Channel 3 (his son was one my wife's students)...

Before I contact them, give me the latest "5 key points" to entice either of them with... (number of rigs, groups involved, area covered, sponsors... you know). Oh, and who the contact(s) should be, with contact info, so they can make arrangements as necessary...

PM me directly if you want...

PM sent. I wrote what I could think of. I'd like to email you the flyer, map and area photos. The photos seem to grab people the most.
Thank you.
 
Info passed on to contacts at Channel 3 and Channel 12... We'll see if either of them bite...

Four Peaks Pickup RSVP LINK

Thanks!!

"I voted today" at the RSVP link...

Also, I heard from my contact at Channel 12... she says they're interested, and may cover it, but are swamped right now with managing stories related to some "big football game" coming up (anyone know what that might pertain to? ;) ).

Anyway, she said they will probably follow up after the "big game"... So, Tim, keep your ear to the ground, if you haven't heard from them yet. If you don't hear from them by end of day Monday after the game, let me know and I will send her a friendly reminder...
 
Nice!
I hope the supercup is a great match!:hillbilly::meh:
I'll keep an eye out for the email or call! Thanks for the hook up! :clap:
