Helping Joplin, Mo., Without Leaving Your Computer Desk

By Lisa Cialfi, Account Coordinator

Admittedly, I’m a social media addict. A lot of my friends who don’t work in the communications field often tease me by saying “What, are you going to tweet about that??” anytime someone so much as sneezes. While I’m not quite at the point of tweeting about sneezes, I humor them with a laugh. This week my love of social media was reinforced.

Serving Up Some Corporate Responsibility

By Carolyn Human, Account Manager


If you read Brittany Frey’s blog post last week, you know that our Travers Collins word of the month is responsibility. Each month we’re highlighting a word that makes TC a great place to work. To honor our word of the month we’re having a “drink responsibly” happy hour (we’re talking O’Douls and Sparkling Grape Juice) and we started volunteering at a neighborhood soup kitchen.

Doing Good Does More than Make Us Feel Good

By Kathleen Rooney, Senior Vice President

I'm really proud that Travers Collins & Company is being honored by the local chapter of American Fundraising Professionals.  This group of development directors, advancement strategists and special events planners work for non-profits and interact with a wide variety of donors and volunteers on a daily basis.  They know their stuff, and so we are thrilled to be recognized by this group of pros for the pro bono work we've done to help non-profit organizations in our community. We are especially grateful to the two organizations that nominated us, Buffalo Prep and the Kenan Center.  They are part of a long list of non-profits that TC&C has helped over the years. 

Operation Photo Rescue

By Sue White, Senior Production Designer

I came across an article some months ago in Photoshop User magazine about Operation Photo Rescue (OPR), a volunteer network of professionals that work to repair photographs damaged by unforeseen circumstances - like fires and natural disasters - at no cost to their owners.

I thought, hey, maybe I can volunteer my skills to this worthy cause, because losing a photograph that you cherish - of which you have no copy - is not a great feeling. Long before the days of digital photography, once you lost a photograph, it was gone forever. What if that photo of my brother Todd in his plaid pants and cowboy hat sitting on my grandfather’s lap had been lost? That’s a piece of your family history (and possible blackmail material) that you want to hold onto.
