Happy April Fools’ Day!!
This may sound like an April Fools’ Day joke but research conducted by the National Cancer Institute found that PSAs are more effective than other communications techniques such as pamphlets, POP displays, editorial articles, etc. Their TV PSAs generated over 55,000 calls to their toll-free hotline, twice as many as all other outreach efforts combined.
It is a myth that PSAs have to cost huge sums of money, PSAs can be big budget extravaganzas, or they can consist of live announcer copy printed on the reverse of a postcard and sent to radio stations for minimal cost. Along with our guaranteed distribution Horizons offers a number of services that can fit any budgets. We want to work with you to get your cause known, to help raise funding, and get you the volunteers you need!
And because it’s April Fools’ Day here are three mock PSAs. I found on youtube. Maybe they’ll inspire you to get your cause the attention and recognition it deserves.

A Safe Haven (ASH) has posted their video from the parade on youtube.

Rick, Neil, and Brian had a great time celebrating and promoting A Safe Haven and C.C.I.L.  As always the parade was a ton of fun.  Thousands came out this year to see the Chicago River dyed green!  Hope everyone has a fun and safe St. Patty’s Day.
