Kudos to Pro Bono Client The Stoop Storytelling Series
Posted by: | Comments
We’re proud of our long standing commitment to gladly providing services pro bono to a select number of nonprofit organizations that we fully believe offer the community the elusive “something special.” The Stoop Storytelling Series is one such organization.
They will be part of WOW and we urge anyone who has yet to see a Stoop show (they are almost always sold out) to see them at the Meyerhoff in early March. We bet you’ll become a devoted fan as we are.
Ninth Annual ‘TBC Classic’ On Track to Break $1 Million Donation Milestone
Posted by: | Comments
I’m perfecting my awesome swing for Tuesday’s sold-out ninth annual “The Brick Companies Classic” fund-raiser golf event hosted by Sawmill client The Brick Companies with proceeds going to their TBC Foundation.
It’s anticipated that the ninth year will be the charm and they’ll break the $1 million donation milestone. Since this is my first time swingin’ the old clubs at the event held at Queenstown Harbor, will this milestone-smasher simply be a coincidence or will my presence be, once again, over the top?

Picnic in the Park!
Posted by: | Comments
We’re involved in the community in many ways here at Sawmill and one of our favorite organizations is the Parks & People Foundation. I’ve been a member of the board of directors for many years and on Sept. 24 we’re holding a picnic fund-raiser. Join us if you can!
Picnic in the Park
A Benefit for the Parks & People Foundation
Please join the friends and fans of the Parks & People Foundation for an elegant picnic in one of Baltimore’s most beautiful parks. Enjoy the gardens of the historic Howard Peters Rawlings Conservatory, feast on the bounty of the harvest from local farmers and fill your glass with offerings from premier breweries and wineries.
Saturday, September 24, 6-9 p.m. at the Howard Peters Rawlings Conservatory and Botanical Gardens 3100 Swann Dr. in Druid Hill Park, Baltimore, Maryland. Tickets are $75 person. Visit the Parks & People website to reserve your spot!
The Parks & People Foundation is dedicated to supporting a wide range of recreational and educational opportunities; creating and sustaining beautiful and lively parks; and promoting a healthy natural environment for Baltimore.
Community Relations and Personal Passion Can be a Great Marriage
Posted by: | Comments
Craftsmen Developers, a Sawmill Marketing Public Relations client, hosted its second annual fund-raising event this weekend for the Hospice of the Chesapeake. For a modest ticket price, attendees experienced a leisurely stroll around beautiful waterfront grounds enjoying a delicious lunch and listening to a live band – all while admiring more than 50 privately owned Ferraris, Maseratis, Lamborghinis and Alfa Romeos.
This event, with the third one already scheduled for June 2011, combines the corporate community relations commitment to support local organizations and issues with the Craftsmen Developers leadership team’s passion for luxury Italian automobiles.
We think Craftsmen Developers is on to something that other organizations can take a lesson from: helping others in the communities in which you do business is the right thing to do, of course. But be creative with your community relations activities by combining them with personal interests you are passionate about.
