Schneider Associates is proud to announce that, after hours of spreading the word through Twitter, Facebook, and relentless calls to family and friends, we won the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge T-Shirt Contest in Boston!
The T-Shirt Contest is part of the annual J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Series, a 5-k race held to benefit charitable groups in cities around the world. Sixty-two companies competed in the Boston T-Shirt Contest. Of them all, our design, featuring the adorable Twitter bird, was declared one of three winners! Many thanks to everyone who voted for us!
The competing T-Shirt designs, including our winning Twitter bird shirt, can be viewed here.
“We are very excited to win this fun and creative contest,” said Patrick Richardson, Director of Integrated Marketing at SA. “It is a big victory for a comparatively smaller company, and a testament to the power of Social Media.”
In addition to bragging rights, SA also won a $500 donation to the charity of our choice! Schneider Associates will be donating the money to The United Services Organization, Inc (USO). We’ve been working closely with the USO and the New England Confectionery Company (NECCO) to distribute Red, White & You Sweethearts® candies to U.S. troops. The USO’s selfless work helps to keep our soldiers safe and let them know they are not forgotten, and SA is proud to be able to support the USO with this donation.
The T-Shirt design also marks the launch of SA’s brand new Twitter handle, @SchneiderPR. We will be tweeting live at the race tonight, including photos and video, so be sure to follow @SchneiderPR for all the inside info! The new handle is the first step toward our new Web 2.0 site, which we are launching within the next month! Stay tuned for more details.
A team of 15 Schneider Associates employees will participate in the race tonight, beginning at 7:15 at Boston Common. Proceeds from the race will go to Camp Harbor View, a day camp for kids from at-risk neighborhoods and low-income families in the city of Boston. So look for us there - proudly wearing our award-winning T-Shirt design!
