Montgomery, Alabama – March 5, 2010 - LWT, a Montgomery-based marketing, media and interactive firm is closing its doors on October 7th to aid local non-profit organizations in their individual marketing efforts. The firm is inviting organizations to submit applications for CreateAthonTM, a 24-hour creative blitz during which staff members provide marketing and creative services to select River Region non-profits free of charge.

It’s just the right thing to do.”
How CreateAthonTM 2010 will work:
From the pool of applicant submissions, LWT will choose non-profit organizations to receive free creative services during CreateAthonTM. Planning meetings will be held with each organization prior to the event, which will kick off at noon on Thursday, October 7, with a staff meeting outlining project assignments.
