2011 Outdoor Advertising Campaign Launches
Children's Bureau's new pro bono outdoor advertising campaign launched this month on hundreds of billboards, buses, bus shelters, airport and mall kiosks throughout Southern California. The campaign theme — prevention — is conveyed using simple phrases (childhoodenriched, childhoodblossomed, childhoodlaunched and childhoodnurtured) and a tagline (parenthood-childhood-neighborhood) that appear in a treatment that is consistent with our brand. Photography of children from Magnolia Place Family Center was used for emotion along with illustrated items that added a touch of imagination and inspiration. A campaign of this magnitude would not be possible without the extraordinary support of our volunteer leaders. Many thanks to CB Director Alan Berkes and his talented team at R&R Partners for donating the incredible design work, CB Director George Manyak for securing the outdoor companies and CB Trustee Salvador Villar for securing a $10,000 donation from Banamex USA to cover printing expenses.

Meet Adoptive Parents Joy & Ritchie
Joy and Ritchie were ready to grow their family through adoption and were introduced to Children’s Bureau through a client where Joy works. The couple researched the agency and felt comfortable to begin the certification process. During a meeting with their adoption matcher, Joy and Ritchie met 2-year-old twin boys, Joey and Jonathan. In an unusual circumstance, the couple was then asked if they could take the boys home with them that day! They said yes and began the steps necessary to adopt the boys. Six months later, Joy and Ritchie met the boys’ half sister, Jenna, age 10, who was in a foster home. They were asked if they could adopt her as well, and, happily, they said yes. Read More |
