Hope" award was presented to Swanson Russell, a local
advertising and public relations firm, which has donated
tens of thousands of dollars in services during the past two
years. Since 2007, when they first started working with us,
the agency has invested over 500 hours in various projects,
meetings, and marketing-related activities. At an average
billable rate of $100 per hour, this results in over $50,000 of
donated resources.
While this financial contribution has been amazing,
Swanson Russell transcends mere monetary contributions.
Their endless dedication and hard work to support
Mourning Hope's vision makes us forever indebted. Thank
you to Dave Hansen and the entire Swanson Russell team.
Receiving this type of work from a national agency that
offers knowledge and expertise from nearly 50 years in the
business is a true blessing for Mourning Hope.
