Pro-Bono Clients

PARKER PR is proud to support the Calgary community through our work with pro bono clients.
We’ve helped various local charities, non-profits and small businesses share their stories and connect with their audiences. See some of our recent pro bono client projects below.

 

Contemporary Calgary

Aiming to provide Calgary and its visitors with a significant visual arts destination dedicated to modern and contemporary art, Contemporary Calgary is a significant part of Calgary’s cultural landscape. PARKER PR implemented a media relations strategy to build awareness surrounding LOOK, Contemporary Calgary’s largest fundraiser of the year. The event raised $1 million and provided over one thousand memberships to Calgarians.

Heart HOme Network

This incredible local charity is dedicated to serving people at risk of family violence by providing domestic abuse support, education, shelter and basic needs to women and children leaving abuse and violence.. PARKER PR supported Home Heart Network by hosting a coat drive, collecting hundreds of coats for women and children. We partnered with Fishman’s Personal Care Cleaners to have each coat professionally dry cleaned.

Treat Accessibly

PARKER PR had the pleasure of working with Treat Accessibly, an organization that aims to make trick-or-treating accessible to everybody. PARKER PR assisted with media relations, with the goal of raising awareness in Calgary. We supported the Halloween Village, welcoming 1,000 families to celebrate Halloween ahead of October 31 and giving children of all abilities the opportunity to experience a traditional Halloween.
