A Dating Service for Creatives and Non-Profits
AustinProBono.org is an innovative website that connects non-profits with marketing
creatives who want to Do. Good. Work.

with a green/red light, and can choose which projects to take. By listing at APB.org, businesses can control the flood of pro-bono requests by
simply telling callers to apply through the website.
Join us in implementing a newly developed marketing plan by contacting publicservice@austinadfed.com. List your agency by visiting
www.AustinProBono.org.
APB.org is a joint project of the Ad Fed, Sentient Services, GSD&M, EnviroMedia, Greenlights for Non-Profits, Game Plan Marketing and Events and others.

The Ad Fed marketing team helped grow Ride donations from $186,000 to $637,000 in five years. Join us as we produce the Red Bike

ADDY® Awards--The real reason* you're
in advertising
The ADDYs are our industry's largest and most competitive creative competition,
drawing 60,000 entries nationwide. Three times in recent years,
local Austin ADDY winners went on to earn national ADDYs second
in number only to New York City.
You got that right: larger, metropolitan advertising "meccas" like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Minneapolis have
been eating our dust when it comes to racking up prestigious ADDYs. Even our member-designed "Call for Entries" campaigns
routinely win Gold Austin and District 10 (regional) ADDYs.
We always need take-no-prisoners volunteers--mad creatives, Web-heads, PR sorcerers, heaven-sent printer reps, and account service
specialists who make the trains run on time. You bring the skills, we'll
find the right fit for them.
Become a part of Austin advertising's biggest and most important professional
and social event by emailing addys@austinadfed.com.
*Aside from the great hours
Grace your walls with art by those without walls.
Art From the Streets celebrated 16 years of giving help and hope to Austin's homeless with the November 2008 art sale. Two thousand
attendees bought $91,000 of art. The proceeds go directly to the artists. Through the annual show and sale of their work, homeless and
low-income artists earn money and self-respect.
Art From the Streets moved onto the big screen in 2005 with release of an award-winning, feature length documentary about the event. Check
out www.ArtFromTheStreets-themovie.com to view the trailer for this
moving film by Ad Fed member Layton Blaylock, Inferno Films.
