Connecting Point Communications Hosts BBBS Fundraiser

March 26, 2004 – San Francisco, CA. Connecting Point Communications, last evening, hosted a fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) at the Minna Gallery in San Francisco that was attended by several hundred well-wishers and raised several thousand dollars for the local chapter of the popular organization.

Connecting Point Communications covered all expenses so that the full amount of admission could go directly to BBBS. Entertainment was donated by Don Clark & Off The Record attracting a spirited audience who danced their way right through closing time. PULSE Entertainment donated a special set up where attendees could be turned into “Veepers” – having their photograph taken, recording a few sentences and being turned into digital human post-cards for emailing to their friends at a later time. PRISMIQ donated its high end PRISMIQ MediaPlayer as door prize.

“This is a terrific windfall for Big Brothers Big Sisters,” said Bill O’Dell, chairman of the BBBS local chapter board of directors. “Funding is always badly needed so the money raised here tonight will go a long way. Even more importantly, given the high caliber of Bay Area executives and members of the media in attendance, this event will give BBBS a valuable visibility lift. We thank Connecting Point Communications and all the other contributors who have made this event such a success.”

“I was a Big Sister earlier in my life and know firsthand how important this program is to young people who are in dire need of mentorship,” said Christine Boehlke, Connecting Point Communications Founder and CEO. We want to thank Don Clark and his ___ band, Garth Chouteau at PULSE and Brad Kayton at PRISMIQ for joining in to make this both a fun and a profitable evening.”

Connecting Point Communications is one of North America's leading independent public relations firms. Founded in 2003 by Christine and William Boehlke, formerly CEOs of Phase Two Strategies, and headquartered in San Francisco, Connecting Point Communications connects clients with the people who will help them succeed.
