Recently the Richmond Ad Club chose the School of the Performing Arts in the Richmond Community (SPARC) for its 2006 non-profit client. The organization was chosen out of many applicants because of its steadfast effort to provide young people, ages 5 through 18, with exceptional resources to reach their full potential through training in the performing arts. SPARC helps these young performers develop life skills and responsibility, and helps greater Richmond grow its future leaders.

Ad Club board members will be creating a new web siteand print advertising as well as providing assistance with other marketing and public relations initiatives. If you'd like more information on SPARC, you can visit their current website, sparconline.org. But don't forget to visit the site later this spring to see what's developed.
