The Tradeshow Network Marketing Group has joined HandsOn Suburban Chicago to share its marketing expertise without charge with select not-for-profit organizations. When they saw the notice that SuperSibs needed graphic design assistance, they offered to help design a stronger image for the group, whose mission is “to ensure that siblings of children with cancer are honored, supported, and recognized, so they can face the future with strength, courage, and hope.”

“We believe it is important to use your time, talent, money, and voice to create positive change in your community,” said Karin Roberts, Director of Marketing. “At our company, small as it is, we try to contribute to the community around us. It is not all about trade show booths and marketing for business purposes. We have found that our experience with marketing can help a variety of causes.”

In the past, The Tradeshow Network Marketing Group team participated in helping food banks, including Feed Your Starving Children and the Northern Illinois Food Bank. Recently, the firm joined HandsOn Chicago, part of a national group that aims “to inspire, equip and mobilize people to volunteer and take action that builds vibrant and prosperous communities.”

The SuperSibs project came through the HandsOn Connect network. “We met with the SuperSibs staff and discovered that they have a wonderful program to help siblings of cancer patients, something seemingly small that can help in a big way,” Roberts said. “With our graphic design help and their knowledge of the programs they offer, we developed a communications piece that can be used to help obtain donations for their cause. The people were wonderful to work with, and we hope that the results will be huge.”
