Each month, we spotlight some of the outstanding media coverage of our clients’ news and events. You’ll see them featured frequently in newspapers and magazines, on television and radio, and on blogs and social media.
In September, Better Together, an organization with a mission of reducing poverty through work and to protect children by strengthening their families, brought its amazing work to the forefront. Thanks to Better Together and a generous community, a homeless, jobless Fort Myers man now has both an apartment and a job, plus his son back. The organization also launched a community fundraising challenge that drew media and community support.
