and vote for the organization that they felt should win.

Armstrong Dental isn’t your average dental office. Built to look like
a house, the Eastern North Carolina dental office is actually a
spa-like setting that focuses on cosmetic and restorative services.
Their emphasis on customer care shone through on their entry form
where they suggested imprinting their logo on SoftBeadz Pillows, so
patients could comfortably rest their heads during dental
appointments.

Child Find of America is the nation’s oldest not-for-profit agency
focusing on missing children. Founded in 1980 by a searching mom in
New York’s Hudson Valley, Child Find works hard to prevent and
resolve child abductions, kidnappings and runaways. Among other
ideas, they propose imprinting our Sea Life bean bag with the words
"I’m a Child Find Safety Star!" and distributing them to children at
health and safety fairs.

Nora's Home shelters families in medical crisis who must travel for
their care. The Memphis, Tennessee, residence can house 20 families.
Stays range from one night to eight weeks. Often families arrive
with little more than they carry in their purse or car. Among the
items they could imprint: duffel bags, which they would fill with
donated toiletries to make guests feel more comfortable during their
stays.

River City Rubber Works appeals to the creative side. The Wichita,
Kansas, art rubber stamp manufacturer is located out of a fabulous
red barn, where they also teach stamping, scrap-booking and craft
classes. They envision making their Red Barn a signature piece of
their marketing, requesting denim items that naturally nod to their
country locale. Among them: the Denim 3 Pocket Aprons to be used by
crafters who visit. |
